    Hello! This is a cute little 1.5 unit monitor. Was a battling ship but was stripped of its guts minus what you see. Includes a spare main and secondary turret. I believe these were Bob Pottle kits with the formed superstructure.
    $75 shipped from 89436, thanks for your interest!

    Yes, those were my kits. I sold 3 kits and a couple of hulls before selling the molds. Strike Models makes the hulls now and I assume still has the molds for the spotting top, main and secondary turrets, main superstructure and conning tower. One kit went to the northwest US and one to Marty Hayes iirc. Don't remember where the 3rd went. Still have my Gorgon, which is great fun to battle with.

    The one that went northwest is still up here. @phill owns it, don't think he's built it, but maybe now he will, and we can have a battle of the monitors. *cackle*

    Bob Pottle did you make them with a black gel coat? I got one from tugboat a few years back.

    Honestly it may be the best handling job I've ever seen from UPS. Box looked pristine. Looking forward to kitting this little guy, should be a fun spare.
