ESF Posted July 26, 2019 Share #61 Posted July 26, 2019 Jack, I just checked in. It's a very nice build with lots of great detail. Where did you find your white lettering? It is very crisp and seems to have no visible backing. Thank you for sharing. Steve Canute, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white lettering are the water slide decals supplied in the kit. Very thin clear backing.

SigEp Ziggy Posted July 31, 2019 Share #70 Posted July 31, 2019 USS Reuben James (DE-153) Buckley class destroyer escort, just thought this model was a Buckley class and that would be a given.
