WOW :shock: who'da thought this model would ever show up online. I have seen this model on e-bay go as high as $175. I finally lucked out and got it for $35 at a bookstore in Auburn WA. I'm still happy to have it. I may have to get busy and download this model and build this version and hoard my...
WOW!! I have been looking at this model for years but have never bitten on buying it. Building something like this is a hobby all by itself.Therefore I will enjoy it vicariously from afar. BILL in Idaho USA

I have seen, on the german forums I think, where they have filled the spaces between the bulkheads with the canned sealing foam,great stuff. You can get it at Home Depot. They then sand it back to the bulkheads and this makes a very good skin support. BILL
I love those huge scale models! Do you suppose they were from Gibbs and Cox? They had a bunch of those at great lakes naval training center when I went through there in '64'. I was in charge of cleaning the rec hall and there were at least a half dozen on display there. Beautiful work. BILL
