Nektarios -

You might want to rethink your war with Tom, Yes you have carriers and many other assets. He has the ability to produce ships as needed... :lol_3:

Thank you for the suggestions on cargo nets I will try some with PE and some with bandage. I will post pictures for help later

Yes, you had better rethink your War with me :heh: I currently have at my disposal, 20 Long Beach nuke cruisers, 20 Bainbridge nuke cruisers, 20 Virginia nuke cruisers, 15 California nuke cruisers, 15 Stealth carriers, Attack subs too many to count, plus many other assorted combatants. Most, if not all, armed with missiles and guns. Send all the planes you want. My cruisers will shoot them all down with missiles still left in their magazines. My 15 Stealth carriers will sneak up on your bird farms and sink the lot of them with nuclear tipped warheads.



But.........................

If your game, let the war begin :jump_1:

Remember this though, I can produce another Stealth carrier and entire air wing every 30 minutes. Lets see the USN top that :jest:


Please disregard my previous, spontaneous outburst. I forgot to take my meds today, and therefore am a little :crazy:
Captain!, I'm pouring as fast as I can, I dinna think I can take much more. Any more stress and I think I'm goin' ta blow right along with the pressure pot.

Two questions are these built ? Because unbuilt kits can t fight.
You have all these but you do not have any Cimarron? :lol_pound: :lol_pound: :lol_pound:

Of course they're not built. That's what you guys are for :eyebrows:

The reason we have all those others is the boss wanted extra on the shelves for stock. The person doing our casting currently, has done a fine job of getting this done, but the Cimarron being a new ship has presented a few difficulties and challenges. Also, any of you who have received a Cimarron knows what its like to shoehorn all those parts into that tiny tube. It took me a couple of days to figure out how we were going to pack the kit into the tubes. Needless to say, you can thank the fact that the "upper deck" is fitted to the hull, is because there is no room left in the tube for it by itself. More work on my part, less work on yours :big_grin:

I hope to get yours out to you the first part of next week Nektarios. The boss has me hopping with the architectural work at the moment. That's what pays the bills around here. Not the ships.

Hey John G., You're not posting over on the 1/200 Kirov thread are you? The "Guest" is wearing out his welcome fast. :mad_2:

Tom,
i don t know who the guest is but Bronco has announced sometime ago 2 Kirov class Battlecruisers as future releases:

1/350 Scale
CN5003 RUSSIAN NAVY KIROV BATTLE CRUISER
CN5004 RUSSIAN NAVY FRUNZE BATTLE CRUISER

Here is a link:
http://www.italiankits.it/bronco.html

I hadn t mentioned that although i had seen it more than a couple of years ago because i didn t have any indication that this kit would ever be produced. I hope that this is what "guest" is referring to and we ll see a 1/350 model of this superb ship.

Hey Guys- Just back back from a 3 day weekend trip to see some old friends.
Hey John G., You're not posting over on the 1/200 Kirov thread are you? The "Guest" is wearing out his welcome fast.

Some photos of JMSDF DDH-144 Kurama. The kit is from Pitroad.I have added GMM PE from the superb USN/JMSDF set which i found to be the most useful PE set because you may use it on almost every modern U.S. JMSDF kit.

How hard was it to paint the walkways on the deck they seem to very even. Nice bit of detail. Would you post some more pictures later of the current build progress. Especially of the Kidd Class. I might switch over to working on e of them, after all I do not have one made in my fleet yet.

It wasn t that hard to paint the walkways on the JMSDF ships. On Pitroad JMSDF ships its easy to do it with a marker or a rapidograph.

That is the progress so far John. I ll make the Kidd class as Taiwanese ships and will do them again as U.S. Navy ships. I just love this class of ships. They are the first class of U.S. warships i saw in the port of Piraeus in 1990 or 1991.

I ll take later some photos of Kidd class and post them.
