More updates coming soon....I just realized I (still) have dyslexia....I was originally going to do the 523 boat but switched to 579....gotta take off and replace two numbers on the stand .... doh!

No worries though - it is easily accomplished!

I've started to do some more painting....I am masking off the deck lights as I like the brass color and I've seen some pictures where these were left unpainted.

As to what still needs to be done:  I have to paint the main deck so I can mask/paint the superstructure camoflage.  Then I'll install the windows and attach the deck. 

I need to also finish the 2 dual .50 mounts, work on the searchlight installation - I am going to scratch this plus use photoetch.  I also have a fresnel lense for it that I will install.

I need to scratch/replace the stern light - the kit represents it as a solid hunk of grey styrene.

More news as it's fit to print!
