Here they are, the actual products you will be receiving.[/quote]

this is a normal question ...as I lost during the long time since this ship was made my 2 plane's....any chance those will be made by you?...I'm sure ...I'm not the only one having lost those scale 1/535 seaplanes....been breacking my head over how I'm gonna make those.
I have some flooters left over from my scale 1/400 Heller Scheer kit...those planes are bigger scale...but they have 2 main flooters ...and not 1 big + 2 thinny "keep wings out of the water" so size is pretty ok...but still...got to make the rest...
and after searching on the internet...haven't found anything that scale....knowing that kit is around and on the market for +60 years and still getting produced...might be a good thing

I've been looking at their webside...they have great stuff....but...first they are expencive...and what kills is their shipping policy...29.90 ...no matter what you buy..
was gonna buy some stuff...cancelled when seeing total cost...when total cost gets above 54 US...I also have to ad import taxes and administration fee...
the import taxes is on price + shipping
its or buy big or nothing...very sad but no thanks

it never is good first shape-up... but its getting the good way... pictures help me see where modifications must be done
had to reduce thickness of kit at waterline 2X plastic thickness is to much...she is VERY narrow there in reality

I think this kit was originaly the USS Missouri.... and it shows... turred 2 on Iowa had 3 X single 20mm AA not the quadrupple 40mm like on Missouri.
even the quadrupple gun platform build up on these turrets was not as this kit is... so.. CUT and start tranform
wanted to see how the tom's PE look

Oh btw... I decided to do her as she was in Tokyo bay...with Missouri

after many checking.. finaly have basic hull form and added the 2 "fins"... also did some more PE work and cleaning of many different pieces..
I am as much.. no probably more on the internet as working on the ship atm.... research takes time and its now the moment as decisions are made that can't be reversed
