Great paint job!!! I know why you have those Tigers jump in your boat. Why did you go with a Lund decal vs. a BB-55 jr. or better yet "The Showboat" decal? Because of your pics I will be spending way too much time learning about these paint schemes of these great ships!!!! Why your interest in the U.S.S. North Carolina? Attached is a pic of a critter that they have dubbed "The Protector" that lives in the harbor where the U.S.S. North Carolina is moored.
Thanks.
Why the Lund? well, it is a Lund - Predator II; it's a mix of old and new I guess. And my tribute to vets. And not too many people ever figured out it was patterned after the North Carolina.
I had plans for a small '55' on it somewhere, but in the original (battle) camo, it isn't on there. A 'Showboat' decal may be more appropriate.
Why the interest? I liked the camo scheme from old pictures; I got to looking around on the web and kind of found a strong affinity for the North Carolina...and 55 is my hockey number - it all seemed to fit. It's pretty tough to be anonymous out here though!
