Neptune, French Battleship, Scratch-Built in 1:550 Scale by Gregory Shoda - This is Gregory Shoda's recently completed French predreadnought battleship Neptune. It only took Greg about two weeks to build despite having a bit of trouble at
the start when he made a mistake in the model’s dimensions. Greg kept looking at the drawings and the footprint of the hull and something was wrong. He discovered that he had done his math wrong. The model is built in 1/550 scale. Added to
Battleship Gallery 2.

December 2020 Mystery Model #3 - Here is the last chance to determine a Mystery Model in 2020. Can you name the ship or class, manufacturer and scale on the message board. Hint, this is not the same model as the December 2020 Mystery
Model #2. Added to the Miscellaneous Gallery. Roger Torgeson was spot on when he posted, "It looks like one of the Sampson Class ships DD-63-68", but he didn't post the manufacturer or scale. Matt E filled in the blanks with, "Nope,
Roger is right, its the USS Sampson, 1/350 scale from Iron Shipwright." It is indeed the USS Sampson DD-63 in 1:350 scale from Iron Shipwright. The triple torpedo tubes were strong clues, as the Sampsons were the first USN destroyers
to have triple torpedo tubes.

December 2020Mystery Model #2 - It is time for a second Mystery Model for December 2020. On the message board, can you be the first to identify the name of the ship or class, the manufacturer and the scale. Added to the Miscellaneous
Gallery. Well, someone has been reading the message board. Matt E saw Jon Warneke's message and responded, "Could this be the 1/350 Iron Shipwright USS O’ Brien DD-51?" Yes it could and it is the ISW 1:350 USS O'Brien DD-51,
which Jon has on his monthly special for $63.95. Do you or does your dad need a stocking stuffer? One of the first of the USN 1,000-ton destroyers sure beats a chunk of coal!

Amiral Duperre, French Battleship, Scratch-Built in 1:550 Scale by Gregory Shoda - Here are photographs of Greg Shoda's recently completed model of the French ironclad Amiral Duperre. Included among the photos are photos of the model
with models of other French units that Amiral Duperre operated with as part of the Mediterranean squadron, namely, Hoche, Courbet, Redoutable, Marceau, and Formidable. I have collected several images from the internet of the French ironclad
fleet off Villefranche and Toulon. These are fascinating ships. Added to the Battleship Gallery 2.

Almaz, Cruiser 2nd Rank, Combrig 1:350 Scale, Built by Vadim Malakhovskiy - Vadim Malakhovskiy has done a wonderful job in building the Combrig 1:350 scale full hull model of the Russian Cruiser 2nd Rank Almaz.
Commissioned in 1903 and assigned to the Baltic Fleet, the Almaz was part of the 2nd Pacific Squadron and fought at the Battle of Tsushima. Almaz was one of the few major ships that reached the safety of Vladivostok after the
battle. Added to the Cruiser Gallery.

SS Great Eastern, Combrig 1:700 Scale, Diorama by Torsten Sobanski - Torsten Sobanski built the waterline version of the Combrig 1:700 scale SS Great Eastern and placed it in a wonderful diorama, passing a light house with an excursion boat
on the starboard side. Launched in 1858, the iron hulled Great Eastern was a dream come true of designer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. She was designed to carry 4,000 passengers from Great Britain to Australia without refueling her coal fired boilers.

River Class Frigate, Black Cat Models 1:400 Scale, Review by Felix Bustelo - The Black Cat Models River class kit is another excellent product, this time in 1:400 scale. The target market is obviously French modelers who will
wish to add Free French escort ship to their Heller ship model fleet. Heller did not produce any WW2 era French destroyers or smaller combatants, so this kit is a way fills a void. However, some other modelers also build in 1:400,
and you can build this kit into any River class ship in any of the navies they served in. Added to the Destroyers Reviews Section.

HMS Inflexible 1881, Nathaniel Barnaby's Greatest Design, Combrig 1:700 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - Join The Ocean Swell and Boy Captain Jacky Fisher as the monster 16-Inch muzzle loading rifles of Jacky’s new command, HMS
Inflexible, blast the pantaloons off the mutinous soldiers of Ahmed Urabi, who had just slaughtered 150 Europeans in Alexandria. You can with the Combrig multimedia 1:700 scale model of HMS Inflexible in her 1881 fit, which will please the
Queen Empress. After all, Inflexible is DNC Nathaniel Barnaby’s most startling and powerful design. Added to the Battleship Reviews Section.

Russian Torpedo Boat No. 212, Combrig 1:350 Scale, Review by Felix Bustelo - Overall, Torpedo Boat No. 212 is a good kit and it is a nice addition to the Combrig line of Imperial Russian ships of that era. Strangely you also get
the parts to build the dispatch vessel version and you could download that kit’s instructions from the Combrig website. Due to the minimal parts count and somewhat basic photo-etch, this may be a good choice for a first resin ship
model kit. The individual railing stanchions could be a pain to work with. Added to the Destroyer Reviews Section.

HMS Cressy 1901, British Armored Cruiser, Combrig 1:700 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - You too can take on battleships, as Sir William White DNC, designer of the Cressy Class armored cruiser said, “come to close quarters
with the enemy without running undue risks”. However, Sir William could not foresee the U-9 and the Three before Breakfast, live bait squadron disaster. With the Combrig 1:700 scale model of HMS Cressy you get a very
detailed model of White’s dream cruiser. Just steer clear of U-Boats. Added to the Cruiser Reviews Section.

USS Arkansas BB-33 1944, Tom's Modelworks 1:700 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - The Toms Modelworks USS Arkansas 1944 in 1:700 scale is an interesting kit. It is a true multimedia kit with plenty resin parts, plastic
parts, plastic rods, four brass photo-etch frets, turned brass 12-inch gun barrels and two decal sheets. It is a good kit, although not perfect. If you want a 1:700 scale model of the last operational 12-inch gun fighting battleship, the
Tom’s Arkansas is for you. Added to the Battleship Reviews Section.

SMS Elsass 1904, Braunschweig Class Battleship, Combrig 1:700 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - Beware John Bull! With the magnificent new Navy Law, Kaiser Bill is furnishing his navy with hard charging battleships, which
will make your knees knock, your heart flutter, your body go into uncontrollable tremors and spasms. Behold the SMS Elsass, the second battleship of the Braunschweig Class. With her incredibly fast-firing 11-inch guns, neither
you nor any other power will threaten the Reich’s place in the sun! Added to the Battleship Reviews Section.

Cannon Class Destroyer Escort, Improved AA Fit, Black Cat Models 1:350 Scale, Review by Felix Bustelo - While admittedly the Black Cat Models Improved AA Fit Cannon kit is not perfect (there really is no perfect kit in my
opinion), this one comes pretty darn close. Black Cat Models has certainly hit it out of the park with this kit and I dare say the quality and engineering of this kit is what other kits should be measured against. The number of small
3D printed parts will provide for a detailed but challenging build and I would recommend it to modelers with some experience. Steve compared the Original Fit Cannon kit to a bottle of Dom Perignon, well I compare this kit to a
bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild wine. Added to the Destroyer Reviews Section.

Tone 1944, Tamiya 1:350 Scale, Build Review by Rick Cotton - Tamiya’s engineering skill shines in the Tone in 1:350 scale. Things fit, tightly, to where they go, without having to be “convinced” to go there…for the most part.
The kit was a real pleasure to build, offering no “fight” whatsoever, and repeatedly calling Rick Cotton away from the TV to work on it. Added to the Cruiser Reviews Section.

cruisers and a rumored Japanese version of the Graf Spee, Alaska and sister, Guam, provided heavy anti-aircraft support to USN fast carriers. Kostas Katseas repainted the Neptun 1:1250 scale USS Alaska in her camouflage
pattern and mounted it in a sea base. Added to the Battleship Gallery 2.

Black Princess, Aurora Black Falcon Kit Box Scale, Built by Mark Leonard - Most of the "older" modelers out there, who grew up building models in the 1950s and 1960s, will remember with fondness those icons of modeling
art, the kits from Aurora Models of West Hempstead, NY. Whether it was the garishly colored plastic of their airplane kits or their 1:600 scale warship kits, Aurora's motto of "Hook the Youngsters with Cheap Model Kits!" was a
staple of the Ozzie and Harriet and Howdy Doody Generation. The Black Princess from the Aurora Black Falcon kit is just a sample of this loved model company. Added to the Sailing Ship Gallery.

HMS Royal Oak 1939, R Class Battleship, Orange Hobby 1:700 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - The Orange Hobby HMS Royal Oak in 1:700 scale is a beautifully produced kit with a cornucopia of intricate detail. A true
multimedia kit with optional lower hull, extraordinarily detailed hull, three brass photo-etch frets, turned brass barrels for 15-inch and 6-inch guns, and wooden stand, the kit has everything. However, in my opinion, it is marred by
the lack of any wooden plank deck lines. Still, it is highly recommended and further, it is the only R Class available. Added to the Battleship Reviews Section.

Puller in particular is used for mine clearing operations with the MH-53E Sea Dragon pair with Mk-105 towable sled, which causes the magnetic mines to explode. Maurizio Chiaro scratch-built the ship in 1:700 scale. Added to the

USN Aircraft Carrier Personnel Set #1, Black Cat Models 1:350 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - "Yikes! Take Cover! That idiot is going to plow into the stern!" No, your 1:350 pilot has not polished off a fifth of Jack Daniel's
while waiting in the landing pattern to come aboard your carrier. The problem is with Paddles, which was the nickname for the Landing Signals Officer (LSO) in the US Navy. Given this nickname for the hand paddles the LSO used
in signaling the alignment of an aircraft seeking to land safely aboard an aircraft carrier. If you don't have a LSO on your 1:350 scale carrier or he can't be easily seen by your pilots, your accident rate will go sky high and you may
be relieved of command of your carrier by your wife for the carpet carnage caused. The answer is Black Cat Models set AC350049a, USN Carrier Personnel Set #1. Added to the Fittings Reviews Section.

USS Enterprise CV-6 Late 1944, Trumpeter 1:350 Scale, Built by Rick Cotton, Entered in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention - Rick Cotton of the Lone Star State, did some heavy lifting to convert the Trumpeter 1:350
scale USS Hornet into the USS Enterprise CV-6 in her late 1944 fit. Rick's Big E sporting the 1944 MS33/4Ab paint scheme was certainly a head turner at the 2019 US IPMS National Convention. Torpedo bulges were added with
card stock, hangar doors were opened, scratch-built gun tubs were added and the entire anti-aircraft armament was reposition to reflect the late 1944 locations. Also the island and flight deck were reworked to fit the time period.
Additions include L'Arsenal 40mm guns, late 1944 air group including Corsair night fighters on the hangar deck, Eduard crewmen and brass photo-etch from Gold Medal Models and Tom's Modelworks. Added to the Aircraft

USS Nimitz CVN-68 Refueling Operation, Revell 1:1200 Scale, Diorama by Fred Heil, Entered in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention - Fred Heil made a short trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee from his home in the Atlanta,
Georgia area to enter this diorama in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention. The models are the USS Nimitz CVN-68 and associated aircraft in 1:1200 scale. However, for the refueling operation above the Nimitz, Fred used a
Tamiya Skywarrior and A-6 Intruder mounted on piano wire. The refueling hose was small electrical wire. GHQ bomb racks and bombs were added to the Intruder. The ship is mostly built out of the box. The two aircraft launching
from the Nimitz are also on piano wire. The sea base is artist acrylic gel and paint. Added to the Diorama Gallery.

things by building the SS John W. Brown from the Trumpeter 1:350 scale kit and brought it to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the 2019 US IPMS National Convention. It is built entirely out of the box and Tim decided to paint only the
lower hull. Tim decided to use this build as a test, in order to develop his building skills, as well as to try new tools and glues. He has already kicked off a new build. Added to the Auxiliary Gallery.

Dieter von Roeder, German Destroyer Z-17, Zvezda 1:350 Scale, Built by Martin Quinn, Entered in the 2019 US IPMS Nationals --Garden Stater, Martin Quinn, has certainly grown a delicious harvest with his build of the
Dieter von Roeder, German Destroyer Z-17. The model is produced by Zvezda in 1:350 scale. Martin did some modifications and additions to the kit before it was entered in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention. He removed the
Aztec stairs on the kit and used Lion Roar inclined ladders in their place as well as using Lion Roar doors to cover the bland generic doors on the kit. Flyhawk railing was used. The funnel caps were adapted from a Trumpeter
Z-25 kit to fit the Z-17. Added to the Destroyer Gallery.

USS Farragut DD-348, Black Cat Models 1:350 Scale, Built by Felix Bustelo - This is my build of the excellent Black Cat Models 1:350 scale USS Farragut kit. The model is essentially built straight from the box with little
additions. I decided to back date the kit slightly by swapping the Mk. 51 gun directors for Black Cat’s Mk. 49 gun directors. I added a mix of Black Cat and L’Arsenal crew figures, used Colourcoats paints for the MS 21 paint
scheme and 005-inch Nitinol wire for the rigging. Added to the Destroyer Gallery.

USS Randall APA-224 Attack Transport, Revell 1:376 Scale, Built by Craig Bennett - Craig Bennett built the Revell USS Randall APA-224, attack transport, in 1:376 box-scale. As a young kid just into building glue smeared
warship kits, I remember this kit fondly. I believe the early production run was named the USS Montrose. I remember that it was great in the bathtub, as all of the landing craft would float, if you hadn't glued them to the transport.

USS Langley CV-1, The Covered Wagon, Trumpeter 1:350 Scale, Review by Steve Backer - What can I say? The Trumpeter USS Langley CV-1 in 1:350 scale has so much promise. A very unique design with fine detail on hull,
decks and aircraft, the ingredients are there. However, this kit is critically marred by providing solid trusses and girders for the complex structure supporting the flight deck. In my opinion, I would wait on this kit until a brass
photo-etch set of the truss and girder structure is available. Added to the Aircraft Carrier Reviews Section.

Vickers Quadruple .50 Machine Gun Mounts with Shield, Black Cat Models, Review by Steve Backer - I cannot recommend too highly the Quadruple Vickers .50 machine gun mount with shield by Black Cat Models in 1:350
scale. For a rather inexpensive price, you get ten fabulous mounts dripping with detail. They are perfect replacements for kit supplied parts for any RN warship kit in 1:350 scale in 1941 and 1942 fits, after the shields were fitted. As
Winston Churchill might have stated if asked about the comparison/contrast between the Black Cat and Trumpeter Vickers, "Black Cat tears Trumpeter a new one!" Added to the Ordnance Reviews Section.

USS Wasp CVS-18, Revell 1:540 Scale, Built by Mark Tutton, Entered in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention - In the early 1950s Revell released some of the first plastic warship models. They all had flat bottoms. In the
last half of the 1950s, Revell introduced much more realistic kits of USN warships. Among these was the modernized USS Essex. As decades passed, Revell kept re-releasing the Essex kits as other members of the class, Usually
with only a change in aircraft and decals. Mark Tutton used the venerable Revell kit to produce the USS Wasp CVS-18 in 1:540 scale to enter in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention. Added to the Aircraft Carrier Gallery.

HMS Hood, Trumpeter 1:200 Scale, Built by William Jerman, Entered in the 2019 US IPMS Nationals - The University of Georgia Bulldogs did very well against Baylor University in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's night in the
first day of 2020. So, it's only right to show Georgia Dawg William Jerman's entry of his HMS Hood in the 2019 US IPMS National Convention. The kit is Trumpeter monster Hood in 1:200 scale. Bill built it mostly out of the
box. He added figures to emphasize the huge size of the ship. The 1936 paint scheme was chosen to show the Pride of the Royal Navy in pristine condition with little weathering. Added to the Battleship Gallery.
