Very nice job on this one especially considering the time he took to build it. Give my compliments to Pramuk, MM.

Love it! I have long thought the San Francisco was a beautiful ship. Saw the kit at my LHS recently and started saving up to buy kit!

A day and 1/2 ?? Ummm . . . . how? Forget about model skills and efficient use of time, we should be more impressed by Pramuk’s other abilities here: I suspect the use of a time machine.

Wow. Very nice work, even if it took a month.

Don, thanks for your kind comments. Agree that the San Fran was a beautiful ship with all-around armament. How much does it cost in LHS? I got mine from luckymodel’s sale for $29.99 -10% (for order over $60) = $26.99 + shipping ($15.45) (w/ other items ordered, this costed $11.24)

Bill, thanks for your kind comments and compliments!. To be more precise, he built the Minsk 1:550 and the San Fran in 3 days (full story on my page). So it might have taken him a day for the Minsk and two days for the San Fran. Even without eating and sleeping, 48 hours is too short for building this ship. For FSM builders, I think they’ll need 80 hours or more. I don’t know how he managed to do it.

Earlier this year, he built two ships (Bronco’s LCS-1 1:350 & Trumpeter’s PLAN Ning Bo (Russian Sovremenny Class Destroyer) 1:350 in four days. Read the story and see images in this page:

I think that the LHS wanted just shy of $100 for it.

$100.00??? Wow! Mine is selling both versions for $59.00 each.
