I've been scratching around building the San Francisco, heavy cruiser, to date as posted it's been 2 weeks work on her. Disappointed with the waterline plate 3mm shorter than the hull moulding, the other hull part isn't a great fit either, but it's better than the waterline plate. It has gone together quite well so far, a bit of filler to go on here and there, but no more than with any other kit, very little flash, no deformed parts. Kit rating at this point 8/10 More later, sorry about the pics......Phil Attachments:

Tossing up as to whether I should make a new waterline plate or extend the one in the kit....Phil

Looks like it will be a nice looking model once it's all done.  |

Thank you gentlemen....I completed the foreward superstructure yesterday, the ship is ready for the paint shop now. The superstructure fit is loose, but when lined up looks ok, I had my reservations about the plastic stairs everywhere but they fade into the structure as you add to the ship..........rating 8/10.
You picked it Dave...that song was on the compilation I was listening to while building her yesterday....plus lots of other oldies...but goodies....Phil
PS..Not long now Anthony...
