Thanks!

Nicely done. I served on her from 1977 to 1980. In fact I was on the flag detail lowering the colors on the day of her decommissioning. I worked on both the Talos and Tartar missile radars.

Cheers

Nikos did a fine job with this really old kit! Proves that 'ANY' can actually be made up into something decent!!

That is awesome you got to be a part of her history Robbie! She was a fine looking ship and well accomplished! Nice to know you were apart of getting some of those "E"'s in missile training!! Thanks for your service!

Wow, great missile launch diorama!

Just shared this on the USS Chicago FB page.

That's awesome Robbie...just checked it out...and put a bid in to join the page! Thinking i might be time for someone to put out an updated version of this ship...new or old configuration! She is a beauty!

Super job on that kit!...excellent paint job and weathering.

I especially like the representation of the missile being fired.

Cheers,
Joe

Excellent modelling, the details and the whole szene is stunning

thanks to everyone for their kind comments. It was a test of my patience, this kit...
