Joe Hilpert RM2 was a shipmate of mine aboard Lipan from 1967 to 1970.    He and a co-worker created this model circa 1980.    His co-worker friend was an avid model builder and gave Joe a hull that he thought resembled an ATF.    The two then gathered cannibalized plastic model parts, some baling wire and chewing gum.     The only plans they had were a couple of old photos and Joe's memory of his Lipan years back in the mid to  late 1960's.
