USCG Pelican CG1432 and USN SC 408, Cape Cod

[Robswashashore]

To honor the brave crew of CG1432 who were lost in 1979 while attempting a medical rescue off Cape Cod:

 

 

 

The US Navy stationed 110-foot Submarine Chasers at Provincetown at the tip of the Cape during the First World War. In addition to chasing any marauding U Boats which sometimes prowled the East Coast, they were frequently called upon to aid the flying boats out of nearby Chatham Naval Air Station.

Very nice! I know you do a lot of scratch-building. Were these kits or did you make them yourself?
