Isn't that "The Perefct storm" in October of 1991?

I have a good sea story about that storm, but thats for another time.

Nice looking kit Harry. You make things hard to say no to.

I am sure you will purchase more. I have most of the BFM kits.
They are a real pleasure to build. I have not found an imperfection in any of them.
Also First Class customer service.
Nice to see someone is willing to kit obscure auxiliary vessels.

Looking forward to your story.
