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.
