bebopsteve Posted July 15, 2014 #1 Posted July 15, 2014 Just purchased Model Shipways Philadelphia Gunboat. Has anyone built it? Any opinions on the kit? Thanks!
MEDDO Posted July 15, 2014 #2 Posted July 15, 2014 Isn't the Ships in Scale magazine running a multipart/multi-issue article on this? I cannot remember if it was scratch or the MS kit. Wil check when I get home. Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ... Completed Builds: Queen Anne Barge - Syren, Pinnace - MS, Halifax 1768 - LSS, Murrelet - Pygmy, Swift 1805 - AL
wq3296 Posted July 15, 2014 #3 Posted July 15, 2014 Michael, I have the magazine articles - it is an MS kit.
bebopsteve Posted July 15, 2014 Author #4 Posted July 15, 2014 Well, any advise or tips about the kit would be appreciated..
ScottRC Posted July 16, 2014 #5 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Welcome to MSW Bebopsteve, Might ask around in the General Kit Discussion section of this forum. Might get some responses there. This kit has caught my attention several times when looking through my monthly Model Expo flyer.
