Yeah, that's a Virginia class, isn't it? They seem to have gone away from the leopard spot scheme.

I just learned there is such a thing as a light box, that's how to do it. Got one on order.

I'll add a few closeups.

I guess I should mention:

https://spruebrothers.com/dml1056-1-...rida-ssgn-728/

Available and in stock.
Its there if you really, really want one. This version also includes the two dry deck shelters and cruise missiles since its been converted to an SSGN.

Yes, that was the one I got for the decals.

I was a little hesitant to post that link.

The kit has had a long history of being a bear to assemble. This is an "old school" Dragon kit and the parts are not exactly "crisp" (expect to spend a LOT of time working on the hull) although the scale is accurate.

Sprue Bros. has always been a little "iffy" for me.

I didn't list them in the "Resources" thread because its felt like you need to pay a premium in honor to have them serve you. Their selection is outstanding and in many cases they are the only game in town, so "fair dinkum" to them.
Still, if you can find it anywhere else, go for it. If you can't, grit your teeth and place the order.

I'm NOT trying to say they are bad. I've ordered from them before and their service is fine. Orders are shipped quickly and they stand behind their wares. It just always felt like I was being "nickeled and dimed" on everything, especially shipping/processing.
