Great news, Al! When can we expect to see it on the BJ website?

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

Really a knock-out. T.B., I've got the Bluejacket C.S.S. Virginia sitting on a shelf mocking me,I'm afraid they'll be playing hockey in Hell before I ever get up to it. I would love to see the process of the build.

Wow!  Looks Fantastic.  Until I saw this post I had no idea the USS CAIRO was still in existance. Apparently it was raised in 1964 and put on Display In Vicksburg. 

A curious question... Who's Idea was it to produce the Cario as a kit?

Thanks.

      Jim.

Nic, BlueJacket's owner.  We're also planning a larger scale cutaway version in a few years.
