Lindberg and Inaccurate are synomyns.

It''s really too bad too as soem of their offerings aren't kitted in styrene by anyone else.

Nice looking craft in the images Al posted.

Cheers.

David - I think the quad .50 was lashed to the foredeck with coconut logs

The time frame is 1951-53. One or more of these boats were transferred to the USN for trials, as well.

The MAXXON mount (M45) was fitted fore and aft.

Naw, Ted. That's Throckmorton Kennedy, Jack's third cousin.

Hi there.

Are you fellows aware that Dragon makes a Maxxon Quad .50 cal. gun mount in 1/35 scale?

Cheers

Jerry;
I know you posted this 3 years ago, but here is a companion photo to the one Al posted, of NEW BUCCANEER in its service days, on the Detroit River. Oct 1953. She originally had a Maxon mount fore and aft, and had a stern gate to recover life raft/IBS/CRRC. I guess the stern was remodeled after being sold to civilian.
Take care,
TED
