They comprised the Bayfield class. All class members survived the war. As befits her merchant bloodlines, the Callaway was returned to the merchant marine in 1949 where she served as the President Harrison. The Doc is known for his high quality resin casting and the Callaway is no exception. The hull is exceptionally clean and crisp.
Edges are sharp, detail is well defined, and the hull surface is glass smooth.
It scales out to within inches of the correct 492' length and 69.5' beam, and nicely captures the prominent deck shear of the C-3 hull. Construction is straightforward and parts placement obvious. Assembly consists primarily of affixing four deck levels amidships. The gun tubs, crane platforms and various fittings are sharply cast in resin wafers, a Doc Modell trademark. The resin carrier is easily removed and the resulting seam eliminated with light sanding.
