That looks great!  I was stationed aboard the IWO Jima LPH-2 from 85 to 89.  I've thought about buying that kit.  It's not cheap though.  I would build it post 1985.  That's when the Phalanx mounts were installed.  I was one of the original 5 Phalanx FC's brought aboard in 85.

Again, nice job.

Should be done this weekend. Need to add the trucks and crew. Rigging will be a pain. Also the whips are to be put on. Happy Modeling!

Am I the only one who can't make any sense out of the previous post?

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Sorry guys. I snapped the top half of my mast by accident. It's me saying something always happens. Sorry about the message.
