Hi Don, I can't yet find the 1:64 US Coast Guard Revenue Cutter which you mentioned, but, if I can, or if anyone else can and direct me to it, I believe I already have the perfect prototype selected.
I'm currently working on RC 1:96 scale Revell model's of the USS Kearsarge and CSS Alabama. While working on these models, I've noticed how similar the hulls of the Kearsarge and Alabama are to the USRCS Bear and began thinking about creating a model of the `Bear' out of a Kearsarge of Alabama hull after I finish my models of the Alabama and Kearsarge. Since the Alabama and Kearsarge are currently out of production, the kits are rather rare and I wouldn't feel right altering one of these rare kits. My initial plan was to try to find an unfinished hull in which someone else had given up and/or pieces were missing (since, other than the hull, most pieces would either not be needed or would be easily re-created), but it'd be even better if I could find a complete kit in 1:64. Anyway, here are some pictures of the USRCS Bear AG-29 in her WWII configuration, which I hope to replicate in either 1:64 or 1:96 (note the seaplane on the fantail); http://www.shipscribe.com/usnaux/AG/bear7-08.jpg http://www.shipscribe.com/usnaux/AG/bear4b-08.jpg http://www.hazegray.org/features/bear/bear07.jpg http://www.shipscribe.com/usnaux/AG/bear6-08.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E-QOnTGFX_o/Sb3tSp9wZRI/AAAAAAAAGyw/PhxIH4MWWcA/s320/ag29list2.jpg --- In [email protected], Don & Marsha Munsey Jr <dmunseyjr@...> wrote: > > There is also a Spanish or Portugese kit of a US Coast Guard Revenue > Cutter with sails that I believe was 1:64.
