The Cottage Industry 1/72 scale Hunley Confederate submarine kit arrived yesterday speedy delivery. Aside from a few resin casting imperfections the boat is very nicely done and detailed, showing revisions that were made by Mr. Blackmore in response to the new information that has come to light from the original boat's recovery and restoration, which is still in progress in Charleston, SC.
There are many white metal parts representing the screw, shroud, rudder, diving planes, etc. and various diameters of brass rod and aluminum tubing. This isn't a clip-and-glue kit. Marty did one for a friend and it turned out very well. I hope to do as well.
Not much time to model now, but even a few minutes working on something with my hands is relaxing.
