Wawona59 Posted May 7 Share #24 Posted May 7 Welcome to Model Ship World Pete. The DDG-54 Curtiss Wilber looks like a good ship model to start with. There's a build log for a 1/200 DDG-54 Curtiss Wilber on MSW. Here's a link so you can check it out. This is a wonderful modeling forum. All of the modelers I've met online here so far are first class. Hope you get a chance to start a build log. Looks like an interesting project. Welcome Aboard!
