You must be a Victorian...they all had too much time on their hands.Thanks @nitrofd !
OOHHHH.....picture's man please!!! The Revell model is going for $850.00 if you can believe it!!As a sidenote the U.S.S Kearsage just returned from a 7 month deployment this past friday at the Mayport Naval base here in Jacksonville.
It was on the local news.OOHHHH.....picture's man please!!! The Revell model is going for $850.00 if you can believe it!!
Since winter is here I do have the time and fortunate I have a understanding sweetie. The problem... I do have is not enough time, as there are a bunch of these models I would like to complete from The Civil war era. The USS Monitor from CI and the USS Monadnock with the CSS Albemarle which has a scale picket boat included. I'll have to sneak a couple of the models into future presents. Also the CSS Palmetto state will probably be my next order. William's (CI) not getting any younger so I'm waiting to get the kits before he retires, then their gone. If anyone else is interested in them; my suggestion is get them as soon as you can for your favorite.You must be a Victorian...they all had too much time on their hands.
Their close just a tad bit smaller, as the larger size rope is to big for the eyes to fit threw and didn't want to add larger eyes, would have made the cannon model out of balance.Are those ropes to scale
They have some cool stuff.Since winter is here I do have the time and fortunate I have a understanding sweetie. The problem...

1/96th kit of the Kearsarge or the Alabama?? The cannons look great!!! I didn't realize the Revell kit had so many things wrong with it. Makes me feel like all of my efforts were worthless now since I didn't correct anything. BUT, I put mine together without the use of the internet (I didn't have a home PC back then) for reference and I went strictly by the instructions provided in the kit.OOHHHH.....picture's man please!!!

Kearsarge kit from revell 1980. Other kits are cheaper for a wooden model build, these older kits are becoming hard to find original.1/96th kit of the Kearsarge or the Alabama??

She would be a beauty!That model looks to be comin along beautifully! Only bad thing is it makes me wish there was a full scale, sailing replica built off the original plans of Alabama.
