Chiefs Trumpeter 1/350 USS Fort Worth LCS3

[chief5437]

finally finished this!

It's been near done for a while, just took me ages finishing off the last little bits.

I found a left over 1/350 f-18, so I thought I'd add it to this model. Decided to paint it like the Blue Angels, and pose it as if the Fort Worth was getting a fly past, lol!

You get two Seahawks with the kit, I think the ship only has one? So I put one in the bay, and the other arriving with spares to fix the one in the bay, ha ha

Also provided are two fire scout drones. I just used one, to sit on the deck.

This is a fantastic kit, no major problems. Three sheets of PE are included, which is a real bonus. Buying extra stuff for ships can get expensive.

I think this kit is the same as the USS Freedom, with some extra parts added to make the Fort Worth. This is evident on the PE sheets, the nameplate is for Freedom rather than Fort Worth. This is a shame as it looks very nice.

Anyway..... on to the pics, hope you likey















Ha ha! You know when I've enjoyed building a kit.... Too many pics, lol!
