1/35O U.S.S. Massachusetts

Post by Frank O'Neill 2025 »

Good afternoon all.
A few pictures of my Massachusetts, just completed.
It's the 1/350 scale trumpeter kit.
I used Gold Medal and (long discontinued I believe) Yankee Modelworks photoetch.
16" and 5" guns replaced with 3D printed parts from Model Monkey.
20 MM anti-aircraft guns replaced with 3D printed parts from Midwest Model shop.
More pictures will be submitted to the gallery.
As always, comments welcome.

Wow, what a great example of an under represented subject! Fantastic work!! I also like the sea effect, subtle waves, perfect colour.

Very nice.

I like the subtle weathering. Not too much and not too little.

Looks great.

Beautiful build.
