MSW crew-mate David J. Salvin (djandj) sends us this build story of his conversion of JAG''s USS Sacramento kit to depict USS Seattle (AOE-3), shortly before her decommission in 2005.

Very nice model.
I spent a lot of time doing un-reps from the Seattle.

Ahh...Unreps...I DO NOT miss those one bit! The worst one was just north of the Arctic circle.

Oh, yes, I do agree, very nice build.

very nice work I served onboard USS Detroit AOE4 from 77 to 83, never thought I would see someone build an ugly old ship such as the Sacramento class grocery stores we all cannot serve on the beauty queens of the fleet. alas they scrapped her a few years back...makes me feel very old
