wdretired Posted August 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2014 I am curious to know if the new Blue Jacket kit of the U.S.S. Constitution requires having to shape the hull or does it come pretty close to scale without having to do much carving? Quote Wayne Present build - U.S.S.

russ Posted August 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2014 Wayne: Solid hull models all require a good deal of carving/sanding to get the rough shaped hull down to its intended shape. Machine carving can only get so close and then modeler has to do the final shaping with templates to create that final shape. The machine carved hull is close but not exact.
