Thanks, John, she was fun, if intricate in places - current project's an He-162 - I'm cursing the design of the kit, so full of fiddly pieces I've just tossed a few of them for sake of sanity, and I can't believe DML for being so reliant on photo etch in some places, makes me dislike them more for the kit.

Looking forward to seeing the news and the new stuff you picked up, Nektarios.

So the news first. I saw in NNT shop their upcoming release of a postwar RN subject. It is one of the best kits i 've ever seen. It will be released within the next two months. Also they will produce until the end of the year a modern German navy subject.

I bought from NNT several ships among them are:

F-122 class kit
F-123 class kit
Prometheus AOR kit
DDG-37 class kit

and several PE sets among them one of the most useful i ve ever seen is the Flyhawk modern weapons set including Harpoon PE launchers and Mk-41 VLS system.

I replaced the Exocet launchers on the S-148 class ships with the Admiralty Modelworks ones i got from the NNT shop. You may see the difference both in size and detail of the new vs the old launchers.

Unfortunately, Mitch, that's the price of working in the oddball scales as you are - you just can't get some things.

Nektarios, those S-148 ships looks very nice! Also great news that you brought from the NNT shop, looking forward to one day ordering a both a F-122 and F-123 frigate. They didn't say anything about having plans to bring out a F-124 kit, did they?

It looks great Nektarios, did you change your focus to JMSDF navy? Is it because your US fleet is now complete???
