Something strange
Posted by ikar01 on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 7:19 PM

I decided that I wanted to build a model of the U.S.S. Eldridge and maybe/maybe not display it near the ammo can I have from the ship.  I went to look up the kit at a couple web stores and found that I couldn't look for it.  No matter how many or different times I tried to search for it the closest I could get was the USS ridge.  This brought up things like the Blueridge and some other ships but never did let me look up the Eldridge.  I can't explain it.  This just seems odd considering what they did with that boat.

Apparently Pit Road kitted one a while back.

She was a Cannon class Destroyer Escort. Lindberg, Trumpeter and Revell have all sold DE kits at one time or another, but not of this class.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

IIRC, Shapeways offers a stack that will help you move toward  a Cannon DE from a Buckley.  Swap around guns from any of the other aftermarket suspects

There may be an ELDRIDGE kit hiding in some hobby shop in Philadelphia.  Wink
