Ten years ago i couldn t dream that someone would produce a kit of this quality. I just need to take better and closer pics of the kit. Hi Nektarios, That is a really great job! Many more post-war ships are on their way. James |

You are right that Dodos models are beautiful, The Armidale class patrol boats are little gems and I am hanging out for the Anzac class frigates they have planned. Heres my 3 Armidales. My flags are to big but I don't have any smaller Aussie Flags and I wanted them there. Yes I am a bit obsessed with RAN ships, good fun though Cheers Callum That is fantastic Callum. A few more vehicles and figures will make it perfect! Best James |

It was not meant to sound like Dodo Models were 3D printed, I have watch Dodo put out some very good models, I was just saying that 3D printing is opening new doors and taking modeling to new heights....... If I was a manufacturer I would probably do my master in 3D and develop it from there,,,,,, But yes I agree Dodo models are great and modeling in general is in great shape... Happy Modeling John |

Here are some photos of a couple of improved Orizzonte class AAW Italian destroyers. I have used the Delphis kits together with their aftermarket decal set (the kit does not come with decals) PE from GMM sets and UNREP plus helicopter landing area decals from ships and Co. decal sheet. Improvements are the replacement of the aft Oto Melara 76mm Super-Rapido gun with a RAM launcher, the addition of an Oto Melara 127mm gun for Naval gunfire support and the addition of a third 20mm gun for defence against small boats. |

Hey Nek, Man those ships look great, now that I have a new handle on my picture editing I can repost all those ships and subs I've needed to post for sometime now. Also, I'm still working on your Russian Victor I,II, &III's classes, got to get more resin material. |
