Title: U.S. Coast Guard Juniper Class Buoy Tender
Post by: JohnnyO on September 21, 2012, 02:40:53 am

I just started my build of a 1/48th scale U.S. Coast Guard Juniper Class Buoy Tender.  The hull is from Coast Guard Models, the superstructure is from CNC Models and I have a beautiful main deck crane kit coming from HomePort Models.

Hi folks:
The crane is coming from Eric at HomePort Models. http://www.homeportmodels.com/ (http://www.homeportmodels.com/)  He special ordered a limited number of these but I think he is working on getting some other types of cranes as well.

The superstructure is from CNC Models.  http://www.cnc-models.com/ (http://www.cnc-models.com/)
