I thought you'd never ask---thought it might be interesting to guess the ships and kits first.

The new "small" ship is USS Independence LCS-2. The center hull stands out with the sharply raked stem and bulbous bow.

Kit is Cyber Hobby---nice.

Others shown are

DE England Trumpeter

DD Benson Dragon

DD Fletcher Tamiya (with 2 main guns mounted)

DD Gearing Dragon

DD Momsen Dragon (Burke class)

CA San Francisco Trumpeter

DD Ayanami FineMolds

Gearing surprised me at having similar length to Fletcher. Wonder if one of them is out of scale or if it's really a Sumner.

Got the Gearing out last evening.

Put the Fletcher in the hull and the extra length is there.

Haven't gotten the length between stacks checked yet.

My photos have more parallax than I thought.

The difference in Fletcher and Gearing appears like the stern areas in the photo first photo.

Lots (!!! x lot more !!!) of small parts on Gearing. Box top says "over 430 parts".

Need to get magnifying glasses to wear with my magnifier headband that I wear over my magnifying cheaters.

Some more comparison shots.

Fletcher inside Gearing inside Indy.

Fletcher in front of Gearing---not sure why first photo has good angle for comparison and this one went back to wide angle but note first photo hull lengths compared to this one, which helps show Gearing funnel distance is correct (allowing for parallax).

Finally---in every Independence there is a hidden Zumwalt.

That angle shift bugged me so tried again---camera did what I wanted this time. Ain't tech fun?

Note kit baffles in Gearing funnels. They fit snugly but easily slide in--no slack once in---don't need glue 'cause funnel caps (glued) will hold them.

Looking down you won't see the bottom without a light. Nice.
