Looks promising.
I built this kit when it was first released, so long ago that I am afraid to count. Still, she looked good on the shelf.
Then she disappeared.
I found out much later that she fell prey to a surprise attack by my brothers' BB rifles!

LOL I hope mine doesn't fall victim to any attacks any time soon!

Album info

When I first started this it was going to be a straight OOB build. Since re-starting it in January of 2022 I have modified a few things (anchor chains & deck supports) but it will still be build mostly OOB.
