Hi Guys,
For those interested,
My name is Tony Bunch. I am building a 1/350 scale model of USS Brewton as she appeared during WestPac 1976-77. I am building this model for SN Ron Athey. If anyone is interested in seeing this yet-finished model as the build progresses, please go to Modelwarships.com > Forum > Calling all Ship Fans > Calling all Knox Class / Beleares Fans. I attached a link below.
This is what you might call an, "online build", and is primarily for entertainment purposes or instructional use by and for ship modelers'.
Please feel free to add any information you feel relevant by posting a reply on that particular thread.
This is not in any way a solicitation; this is an invitation. I started this project some months ago, and I have learned a great deal. I have also in some way come to know the crew from this cruise, as I have repeatedly viewed the same pages over and over to find ships details. I am unable to just look at the ships details; because there is an unescapable human factor here. My ship modeler's hat is off to all Brewton sailors. Thanks to Ron Athey for inviting me to build this model. In some way it is for the rest of the crew as well.
Faithfully submitted, Tony Bunch
