SS Hawaiian Pilot

[fubarmodelyard]

This is a 2005 release of a very old, older than me, revell kit of a C3 freighter named the Hawaiian Pilot. she started her career as the USS Burleigh, a US Navy attack transport. After the war she and most other freighters were bought by Matson and ran the Pacific. revell made a Burleigh specific kit and this kit still had the gunmounts that had to be cut away. I really have to finish this one

It was last released in 05. Maybe Atlantis will pick it up

Maybe but then I guess they would retool and change the scale. They like to change scales
