Free Download Alert 16FEB26

[Jean]

Hello Boxsters,

After two weeks of near zero degree temps we are finally emerging from the deep freeze and the snow and ice are melting.

It is also Monday, Presidents Day, here in the USA, and time for a new Boxart Free Download.

This weeks FD comes from another one of Chris' heritage files.

This kit was only released once by Renwal.

The year it was released it up to conjecture since it seems that Renwal did not date their kits.

The oldest reference to it is the 1961 catalog, which is the oldest one currently available.

If anyone has any references that predate that please let us know.

The art is from the 1/500 scale release of the USS Compass Island, US Navy Experimental Navigation ship used for developing the guidance system for the Polaris ICBM.

I selected a half dozen images of the Compass Island for your review.

All the images are 1280 pixels.

Get them at https://www.boxartden.com/FD/

Yes, it has been a roller coaster weather ride here in Iowa as well.  Today a new record high of 69 in the Des Moines area.  A couple of weeks ago, wind chills in the -20 to -30 F.
