LIBERTY SHIP K66 (Skywave)
This is a 1:700 scale model from Skywave of a U.S. Navy "Liberty Ship" numbered K66.
USA shipyards built over 2700 of these freighters for use in WWII. So many survived the war (2400) that they immediately went on surplus sale and became a key component of the worldwide post-war shipping trade. It is the largest number of ships ever built to a single design.
I built the model in one day, then painted it the next day. Paints are Vallejo acrylics. The kit was from the Bill Wilson collection. Thank you Bill.
