1/600 SS United States (Revell)

The lifeboats on this model were very unconvincingly integrally molded with part of the hull sides and with the davits.  Boats were cut away and new davits made partly from fuse wire and partly from etched brass parts.  The lifeboats were rebuilt since only their visible halves were molded by the manufacturers.
