Hi Jeff
I am currently working on a Lindberg "Blue Devil" destroyer kit.... I am using your article as a starting point and have already completed the hull mods.
Planning on building USS Rooks as she appeared in the early Fifties - yes I know I have more courage that brains.
Anyway, thank you so much for that article - it is great. I may add that by "Real Carefully" sanding the hull line to a concave shape seems to add a lot for the overall appearance of the model.
Sincerely!
