Once again another nice build Carl.
It was always strange when one of those little buggers would come darting at you on thier foils.
Oddly enough both of my captains served on PHM's before coming to the Scott.

Sorry for double posting, I just found this again.

Nice feature Carl!
Congratulations on your built - I have the lil'bugger and I am aware of what you have accomplished here!
Also, thanks for the photo, Jim
This could be the reference for a "strange diorama" (????)
;)

I can see the captain of the Pegasus saying "Oh yeah. Can you do this?"
Awesome work Carl.

For anyone wanting to build this in 1/350, we have it available as WEM kit number K3551 USS Pegasus, though it can be built as any of the class.

Thank you, very much, for the kind words, Gents!
I did it just for fun. I wonder if anybody else has ever made the "lil' bugger". It came with a Skywave FFG kit.
I should have tried harder to replicate an open tripod tower for the dome.
I had thought about putting two or more on the same water, but didn't come across the right size plexiglass display case until after this one was done. I still have about three of them from various DML and Skywave ktis.
The guys at the local IPMS meeting, tonight, enjoyed it.
