Hi All,
Just reporting aboard, I have been building models all my life, and my current
project I am completing is a 1/72ns scale Flower Class Corvette.
I began with the Revell kit, but the only thing left of it is the hull, stack,
rudder and cowl vents. The rest is a combination of H-R, GLS, and scratch
building.
Planning on getting started on a 1/48th scale Castle Class corvette after my
Flower completes.
I live in Mill Creek, Washington, and work as an airframe and powerplant
mechanic, so ship modelling is a nice break from airplanes.
Jim Hathaway

I use auto body filler (bondo) to fill the cracks for the plank on frame hull. Works great, does not shrink or crack and sands easily. This is the second plank...
