Album info

USS NORMANDY (CG-60) in 1/700 scale from kit #01089 by CC Lee.
Model was a gift for a Shipmate who served on Normandy when she and my own USS SOUTH CAROLINA (CGN-37) deployed together with the USS AMERICA (CV-66) Battle Group in 1995.
Kit was mostly out of the box with a lot of putty, CA, and paint. Decals are laser printed or from the stash. Primary colors are MM Acryl Neutral Grey (FS36270) for USN Haze Gray and Gunship Grey (FS36118) to represent deck non-skid.
Completed December 2019.
