bebopsteve Posted July 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2014 Just purchased Model Shipways Philadelphia Gunboat. Has anyone built it? Any opinions on the kit? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDDO Posted July 15, 2014 Share #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. Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

ScottRC Posted July 16, 2014 Share #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.
