1/700 USS Northampton CA-26 (Corsair Armada)
This is my Corsair Armada USS Northampton. I started this kit a few years ago and got round to finishing it off last year. It's not the best resin kit in the world but its not too bad and with some care and etch makes for a reasonable model. I used the Tom's etch set for US heavy cruisers with railings, ladders and 20mm guns from GMM. The quad 1.1's are by Paper Lab, rigging by WEM and masts/poles by a mix of plastic and brass rod. Paints are by WEM, Lifecolour and Citadel with weathering by drybrushing and Tamiya weathering system.
