Here I go again, with the clear bench comes a clear mind and hopefully I can get stuck into this one.  I remember doing one of these as a boy after my Dad bought it for me, (he was ex Navy) so I've been wanting to do this for sometime. No nonsense, straight out of the box |

Good choice and looking forward to it. It's fun do a build of these kits we did in our younger days. That's why I enjoy those early Tamiya kits. Brings back great memories.

You two was in nice and quick, thanks I got the tub made up, a wee bit tricky but not too bad at all  That has got to dry solid before I go any further on the tub. The good thing about this kit is there are plenty of sub assemblies to be getting on with while you wait Actually enjoying modelling again |

Wow, I did one of these as a kid as well. Used to take down to the local stream and see how far it would go without getting stuck. It died in awful barrage of airgun pellets 🤗

Enjoy a floater but yet to build one myself.

Thank Si
I chose this as the last two floaters I done, (Spruance and Enterprise), I very much enjoyed

Great little classic. Straight out of the box is the way to go.
