Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Re: Ohio Class SSBN
I've got this to build, is it simple to convert from the Florida?, thought it would be just leaving the SEAL airlock bit off the back.
P.S. Hey 2000 posts!!!!

It's amazingly simple. In fact it's easier than building the Florida as there's no cutting involved. The only bugbear is that the missile doors don't fit at all well in their openings so you're stuck with having them open, which means constructing and painting 24 doors. Otherwise it's a really nice kit.
Just one piece of advice though: do your own research regarding colour schemes.
Hope you have fun with it.
