Long time no see everyone. The surgery was quite successful. I have resumed making models. Now I am reposting pictures of the process of making this model.
The overall production process was very easy. As you can see, I did not create a lot of details. The production experience was very pleasant, and I did not have to make corrections or improvements.
Similar kits may be available in other regions, but not this ship
The verification of the hull painting is actually not correct, because this is an American ship, and I did use the British painting, because there are other verifiers who did the American painting, and I don’t want to do the same as others.
The body of this boat uses a lot of 3D printed parts, which is a very novel experience for me. After making it, I think it is a great choice for novices, and it is easier to avoid many shortcomings of traditional wood. make,

All under the Watchful eye of "Captain Kidd's Cat!"
From plastic to wood and them back to plastic (actually resin)? Hmmmm...
A very good looking model - very good appearance

I reiterate Grant's sentiments.
Thank you very much for your concern. My health has recovered and I can’t wait to start model making work again. The next ship is the newly designed 48 scale Diana. I will post about the new ship soon.
