1/350 FF-1076 USS Fanning Knox class frigate (AFV)
This is the Knox class frigate USS Fanning (FF-1076) circa 1976 in 1/350th
scale. The ship was built from the Iron Shipwright kit of the USS Ainsworth
(FF-1090). Modifications were made to the kit in the form of removal of
the bow bulwarks and the 0-2 level berthing addition forward of the helo
hangar. The BPDSMS launcher and director were scratchbuilt, as were the
simplified EW antenna arrays abaft the MACK. GMM decals were used throughout.
A snapshot in time of my old home, early in her career.
