Hello Anthony,
This represents the workhorse of the US.Navy very well.
The clean lines show power and speed. I still prefer this to the new LCS Zumwalt. Whats up next?
Regards,Dirk/The Netherlands.
Anthony Alvear said on January 12, 2017
Thanks ..Well Dirk, I reconcile the zumwalt is very ugly ... at this moment I am finishing the ijn Yahagi 1/350, will soon show, regards.

This is a fantastic build! As are all the others by the way, just too many to comment on all individually!
The camo on this is really eye catching, and very well executed.
Anthony Alvear said on January 16, 2017
Than you Richard.

Just a very beautiful ship. You did a magnificent job! Mine came out ok, but not with the details of your model.

Here is mine, but not as detailed as your ship.
