This is beautiful work--getting the color scheme up and over the maddeningly varied surfaces and still keep the demarcation line clear must have been a task equal to just assembling the kit!

Crisp and clean!. Lots of precision detailing. The paint and decal application is superb. You should be proud.

This heavy cruiser was one of my very first models that I built when I first came back into this hobby. May I say your build, is one of, if not thee best USS San Francisco I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
