Panay is the only one of "the new six" Yangtze Patrol gunboats available in a kit. Dennis says the resin kit with photo etch parts by Iron Shipwright that will yield a 12" model has poor instructions, but he's undeterred as always. Perstare et Praestare- persevere and excel, aka, don't let lousy instructions stop you.

"The Sand Pebbles Topic" Asiatic Fleet - In 1965 The Sand Pebbles ...
