Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
I received this kit for Christmas and I managed to finish it on New Year's Eve. It was a really fun build and very straight forward. The parts required minimal cleanup which is nice since there are so many tiny pieces. The only thing I [...]

The model was built o.o.b and the kit [...]
