1/350 USS Baltimore CA-68 (Yankee Modelworks)
YMW 1/350 USS Baltimore gave me the chance to build my all time favorite class of warship and to work with resin for the first time. The kit I found was easier to work with than I thought, although when everything was said and done the finished model is about 40% plastic. Replacing kit parts with scratch built plastic ones was done mainly for ease of painting and to satisfy my finicky tastes rather than poor quality. The kit is very nicely done and will build an impressive model right out of the box.
The model was finished using the kit's PE, WEM enamels and Dupli-Color red primer for the anti-fouling, I rigged the model useing Uni-Ceanis thread.
