USS Harper's Ferry, LSD-49, in 1/350 Scale

With this, the vessel was complete except for gluing it to its wooden stand and adding the two dull coat finishes. Once that was done it was time for the final pictures:

...and some close up shots:

And there you have it. Orange Hobby's 1/350 scale USS Harper's Ferry, LSD-49. She does look good though:


I will come back and add some pictures of my entire Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) together, which will include the USS Iwo Jima, LHD-7, USS New York, LPD-21, and USS HArper's Ferry, LSD-49...and their excorts. Perhaps this weekend I can arrange them all together like that!

They are really capable ships, and the US has 12 of them.

No hanger facilities like the San Antonio LPDs or especially the Wasp LHDs, but thye have a lot of flight deck so the marines and their equipment can be picked up and flown out of there, and a large well deck so that they can get on LCUs, or LCACs, or Amphibious Assault Vehicles to go to shore.

It was a fun build.

...and the three vessels look really good together:



...or with their escrots too!
