1/700 S.S. La Crosse Victory (Loose Cannon Productions)
This model represents the S.S. La Crosse Victory as she appeared in mid-1945 in the Atlantic, when my Dad served on her. I modified the armaments to reflect the deletion of everything except the ancient WW I cannon on the stern. The rest of this excellent resin kit is pretty much stock, although I did add some photoetch for the flying bridge and aft steering stations from Toms Model Works; photoetch hose racks, life rings and crew from Gold Medal Models; open lifeboats from Skywave; a deck cargo of Sherman tanks and one White halftrack, and the oars for two lifeboats, from White Ensign Models. The rest of the deck cargo came from another Loose Cannon Productions kit.
