B-Ram Posted September 22, 2020 #1 Posted September 22, 2020 Hello everyone, I'm starting on my next plastic model. This will be my second plastic model. My first plastic model was the Revell USS Missouri. I started with these two models mainly because if I mess them up I haven't lost too much. I opened up the box and was somewhat pleased. Being the model castings were made in the 1950's, the model looks ok. The flashing doesn't look bad either. There is a date molded into the hull "1959". The hull is 17" long and is in two pieces. Holding the two halves together, it doesn't look like it will take very much work to get them to fit good. Bill mtaylor and ccoyle 2 Quote
ccoyle Posted September 22, 2020 #2 Posted September 22, 2020 Ah, the famous "box scale" Revell models. I built this one back when I was seven or eight years old.

Gregory Posted September 22, 2020 #3 Posted September 22, 2020 Do you have a picture of the box ends? I want to verify something from my youth? mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon

JerryTodd Posted September 23, 2020 #6 Posted September 23, 2020 Long ago, before they had PE specifically for this model, I was still working out how to make the gantries on the forward mast when the movers attacked. mtaylor, Old Collingwood and Canute 3 Quote Jerry Todd Click to go to that build log Constellation ~ RC sloop of war c.1856 in 1:36 scale Macedonian ~ RC British frigate c.1812 in 1:36 scale Pride of Baltimore ~ RC Baltimore Clipper c.1981 in 1:20 scale Gazela Primeiro ~ RC Barkentine c.1979 in 1:36 scale Naval Guns 1850s~1870s ~ 3D Modeling & Printing My Web Site My Thingiverse stuff

Gregory Posted September 23, 2020 #8 Posted September 23, 2020 I apologize if I'm being too much trouble, but I'm thinking of the end like this: Once I see the end of the box, i can tell you what I have in mind..
