Ship modeler, all-around Canadian boat guy (and gov't goon, so usual caveats apply). PhD'd in Norwegian, Danish, and Canadian naval forces: book version coming Soon™️(Fjords Deep and Oceans Blue - Bloomsbury).
A more sensible fit than the containers of cruise missiles shown in graphics and models
Friend goes to Korea, acquires a destroyer, and Tim gets a couple evenings of fun.
A little palate cleanser/reward before returning to regularly scheduled naval construction programming

This should be fun. A very unusual kit with lots of interior options (hangars), to be inserted as modules through the bottom of the hull and into the superstructure.
but this is some "step 1 draw two circles step 2 draw the rest of the fuckin owl" stuff
Looks like they did shortly after my pieces, with the cradles installed and visible in photos ever since. Seahawk-based AMNS as well by 2017 or so.
oh look what's evergreen (my 2013 master's thesis on...the USN and a Strait closure)
Smolmars (minor modification: split the front window in two because ✨accuracy ✨)
The only time I'll build AFVs for myself is when they're going with a ship. Tiny HIMARS and Bradley!
