"Modified" he says... From the look of the first photo, that thing is a complete rebuild from the deck up... :-) Nice one. Wish I could build like that. :-)

From dragon/revell whatever?
And where do you order them?
I got now a decent job whit payment, so i want to build a navy :D

The Oto Compact 5" and Goalkeeper can be found on the Skywave E-4 weapons sprue. They don't produce it anymore, as the molds were sold to Dragon. Dragon produces it in their Type 42 Destroyers, and their Invicible class Carriers, as Sprue B. Where you can order it, likely through Hobby Link Japan's parts service is a good choice, though you need a credit card as they do things in a somewhat odd manner.

Nektarios i need two 127mm (oto melara) and two goalkeepers.
And see your pb please, i want to know where you bought your kits.
Since i lost the websites (noted bevore)
I have found already some, but they are out of stock->

http://www.modelsforsale.com/catalog/pr ... _id=122893
http://www.modelsforsale.com/catalog/pr ... _id=291075
All of those are ffg7 class, tico, arleigh.
I want to create two LCF class from the dutches.
If i will be able to do that :D
Otherwise i just rip off the armament from the spruance class, and fit them whit the 127mm and goalkeepers.
BTW NEKTARIOS, dont trow away, but send to me.
I will pay the sending costs, but just dont ever trow away again :heh:

I second that, don't throw anything away, I would also be happy to pay shipping if you are not wanting these extra items.

Indeed, because if you need spare parts.
You have to buy a new kit, wich is expensive.
So better give away then trow away ;)
