USS Reuben James.(OHP class frigate)

[Guest]

Hello my Friends.
Completed this today.
This is the deluxe Academy kit in 1/350 scale which comes with the Pontos detail set.
For the first time I used Uschi lycra rigging which is great.
I had a lot of fun with this.
All the best.
Ralph.

Now that I like.
Cracking looking ship and coupled with an excellent seascape makes for one superb model.

Nice one Ralph!

HI Ralph v-nicely done I love ships an your build with the seascape is brilliant is that a perry class frigate as I was goin to build one in from a scratchbuild in 1/64 th scale before I built my Nimitz. But what put me off her was when I was lookin up some research on her I found her class had only one prop an the rudder was very offset to the prop
for reason bein it said in book that it could pull very tight turns in combat so I went for the big N but how big is she in inches long ?
