My uncle and I both built the Scout freighter. Mine was set for RC but perished in house fire. I inherited his when he passed last year. He made his static. I’ll post pics. Not as great as your build but good. I’m building a case for it. I built the Missouri n in agreement the wood wasn’t great. I think I sold that one years ago. I have my Dumas Creole Queen just needs railings done. Motor, RC and smoker all done. This is my 4 th build of it. Previous were sold and one and the same house fire. For years these were the only kits I built. Then European vendors got bought n built. Your Scout is wonderful to see.

In regards to previous posts (Sterling Models, their freighter), I am creating a new subject...
I was talking to fellow SSMBC member Jim at the meet today (March 15, 2026) about the Sterling models. He has two "Sterling Models" that I know of, the American Scout freighter and battleship USS Missouri. Some of his comments:
- The freighter took him about four months to build.
- The high use of Balsa wood is the down side of Sterling models.
- On the Missouri he replace almost all of the Balsa with other wood.
Jim goes into great detail with his models. I'm posting a few of the photos of these two models I had taken at previous SSMBC (Florida, USA) meets.
