The Duke's Shipyards Launch a Ship and a Boat

Post by Duke Maddog »

This month, two vessels were launched from my Shipyards, one destroyer and one PT boat.

First, the destroyer. It's a 1/700 scale Mahan-class destroyer I christened the USS Cassin. I'll get another to make the USS Downes later:

Next is the ancient Revell kit of the McHale's Navy PT-73 PT boat:

That's all I have for now from the Shipyards. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Yeah…. I like the weathered look deck on the PT.
