OVERALL PLAN
We have builders for all 13 Taffy 3 ships: 3 Fletcher Class Destroyers, 4 John C Butler Class Destroyer Escorts and 6 Casablanca Class Escort Carriers. We are trying to make it easy for a modeler to participate in this effort by providing a build coordinator who can assist/provide the hull, superstructure, running gear, parts, technical assistance, etc. If you want to build a Taffy 3 model ship, please contact one of the Taffy 3 Build Coordinators.
