Hh, note that these are not my boats, but belong to my friend Jim. He gets the credit and I will pass that on to him.

I have 2 USS Missouri models. they make a fiberglass hull for it. with such old kits you would have to replace the balsa wood.
I have a Lumba Lumba boat to build yet, ill never get to the Missouri

Lew!
Thanks so much for the spectacular pix! They are an inspiration, as my version, done up as Matson's "Pacific Trader,” is still in drydock! And yes, there is a certain beauty and worth to these old Sterling kits; despite the battles to build them.

I remember my Sterling Chriscraft Buccaneer from the hazy annals of my youth. If I remember correctly it had a thick balsa base with a balsa double hull on the sides.🤔

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.
