Hooper Island Draketail "Martha" Updated
This kit is produced by the modeler's guild at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD and is available in their gift shop or online store. The Martha is one of CBMM's in-water working display boats. The design from the 1930's was very fast getting out to the oyster and crab beds but the complex stern was more than even skilled boat builders wanted to deal with. Well designed kit.

USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE 413) Updated
I completed this build a while back and had thought it was posted - guess not. It is a 1/16" scale kit from Bluejacket, of one of the handful of DE's and DD's that turned back a powerful Japanese fleet during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
Build is 99% out of the box, only added details are on the 40mm mounts, some nav lights and the floater nets. Great kit to break into solid hull kits.
