CV5 & CV6 Fans,

With the arrival of new 1/700 kits of both Yorktown and Enterprise, (and perhaps more than a few Tamiya kits already in the stash) we are glad to announce a limited introductory run of our latest upgrade set-

P/N U796: Upgrade set for 1/700 Tamiya, Trumpeter, and Academy kits of U.S. Carriers Yorktown & Enterprise

The set includes:
* 5-in/38 cal DP Guns (correct pedestal mount, per our part U736) x 8
* 28-mm (1.1") Quad Automatic Cannons (per our U707) x 4
* 20-mm Oerlikon Cannons w/shields & pedestals (per our U701) x 30
* .50-caliber Browning machine guns (per our U712) x 30
* Mk33 (Early) Director - updated part! Per our U744 x 2

Optionally you can include U746 Yorktown / Enterprise fighting top, if you like your windows open! You can use the exisiting kits tripod legs (trimmed), or add your own brass. We've done this part as a single piece as it is very fragile, to minimize fuss in alignment of each of the 3 kit makers tripods.

The introductory bundled price for these is >20% below component sets purchased separately. A few early sample pics show application to Tamiya and Academy.

Please see our new parts at: http://www.3DModelParts.com

Regards,

-Carl

Carl, your parts are fantastic ,and your shop should be called 3GModelParts, GOOD,GORGEOUS,GREAT SAVINGS.

Hate to hijack this post, Is there any chance ,You can upscale your Big 5 cage masts to 1/350?, wish to nail a couple of ISW models and your cages can make the big difference .
