1/350 USS James C. Owens DD-776 (scratchbuilt)
| The hull and main deck are from a 1/350th Tamiya Fletcher. Everything else is scratchbuilt from styrene with the following exceptions. The duel 5"-38's were kitbashed from the kits single 5"-38s. The kit had parts for 10 single mounts. Railings, hatches, doors, ladders, fire hose holders and radar's are Gold Medal models PE. The decals are from Gold Medal also. This is the 1st ship model I've built in 25 years or more. References were Summeralls Laffey book, NAVSOURCE and the Allen Sumner website. |
