You got it Jeff. Ship group builds aren't as popular as planes or tanks but somebody's gota do e'm.
I'm really looking forward to everyone's builds.
Speaking of builds, I'm switching my first one to the Spruance.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
