1/700 USS Detroit

Modeling Subjects Ships

Here are some pics of my 1/700 Trumpeter USS Detroit. Built this a couple of years ago. Added PEs and some scratchbuilt parts (including the hoses).

I also made her convertible, i.e., removable lower hull for waterline displays. Here she is alongside my scratchbuilt BRP Lake Taal.

As always, comments most welcome.

Very nice! I have put off working on that kit because I didn’t have a good method of representing the refueling hoses. Your look great!

Now ;

That’s very nice ! I like your subtle and correct weathering too .Too bad these ships don’t come in 1/350 . 1/700 is to small for these old eyes . T.B.

Many thanks T.B.! I woud very much like to see much more auxiliary/support USN vessel kits. I can only imagine how big the ship would be in 1/350.
