The Guided missile cruiser California, a beautiful ship in my eyes, now she is mostly razor blades and soda cans. Hard to believe she came into service when I was a teen and is scrap already!
Look close, tomorrow I will post California's sister ship South Carolina and you must find the differences between them.
This is Another build by Corpsman, please enjoy!

Started: March 10th 2003, July 29th 2007, Aug 14th 2009, and Jan 11 2011!
Completed: Sept 10th 2009.
Hull color, Polly S Haze grey.
Deck color, MM Gunship Grey 361183
Boats: Testors acrylic flat dark tan.
P/E: Gold Medal Models USN/JMSDF Warship (upgraded) #700-10
Decals: The JAG decals came apart!!! Was able to use them with much TLC piecing them together! White square replaced with one from the spares box.
