Swift 1805 by Ghost029 - Artesania Latina


Recommended Posts

So while I am waiting on some tools I started the Swift. I got it off Ebay and it came with the original receipt. It was first purchased in 1983. It looks like they were die cut in 1983 versus laser cut. Laser Cut didn't exist then. Looks like everything is there. Only is issue is mold on the spacing blocks. That is not a problem. I do mold remediation for a living so this will not be an issue. I put the frames on.

Actually laser cutting started in the 60's.  Unfortunately not for ship models back then😁
