Jim Lenahan Posted June 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2022 Hello, while searching for my next build project, I came across a J 24 model on blue jacket ship crafters website. I decided to build this model for a friend who is a J 24 sailor. Nic @Bluejacket does a nice unboxing video so I will skip that and just post some pictures of the build. It was a fun project. The kit comes very complete. I did however make some slight modifications. ccoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
