King of the Mississippi kit from the 1980's.


Recommended Posts

Has anybody built this kit from the 1980's?  I started this kit and had to stop working on it when I moved to another city.  I haven't worked on it for 33 years.   I am retired now and have started to work on it again and I need some help.

Todd,

 

I had started it a few years ago and stopped once i got the deck done.  I'm not sure if i can help but i do have that same kit.  Your best bet would be to start a build log and ask questions there, i am sure you would get alot of help.

Hello Todd, Happy New Year.   There are several  logs for this ship, they are so good I had to buy one. ( It's in my stach lol ) By all means necessary open a log for this  and ask away, and you will get answers 

 Have fun and good luck on your journey. :sign:

Dave,  Thanks for the response. I have thought about a build log.  I do have the first two decks together and the other decks planked.  If you ever start again on this kit, let me know.  I might be able to answer some of your questions.

Thanks for the response.  I did check the existing build logs, again and I found the one by Dan Vadas.  I found an answer to my question.  Thanks again for the suggestion.
