Hey Nektarios,
I saw the Hyuga on ebay last week. It didnt meet the reserve. Did you get that one or did you buy it from the manufacturer? If not ebay where'd you get it and how much was it?

Hey Nektarios,
I'm not sure how much it went for. I set a limit of $90 and when it went over I moved on. Here's a couple more.

Charles DeGaulle

Forrestal

Nimitz

Brewton

Bear

Bob where did you get all these extra aircraft for your HP Charles de Gaulle ???

Thats the 1/600 Kittech kit. I wont pay over $150 for ANY kit. I'd rather scratch build it. All in All the Kittech is a decent kit. I do 1/600 too if I like the subject!

I just love the looks of these small stealthy ships.

As always all comments and questions are welcome.

I have to admit, they are cute little boats, Nektarios - just isn't a whole lot to them in my opinion, leaves them feeling a little bare...

Looking good Nektarios! I always liked the Visby's, especially the "peek-a-boo" gun.

Hyuga for real Nektarios.

Hmmmmm! that looks like a easy build.

They are supposed to be so because they must be stealthy. Their armament is impressive for their size.

1 � 57 Mk3
8 � RBS15 Mk2 AShM
8x Umkhonto IR Surface-Air missiles in VLS
Mines and depth charges

Aviation facilities: Helicopter pad

It is definitely easier than a 50s, 60s or 70s carrier design.

Nice looking ship, it just needs a ski jump added.

Here you go ski jump added:

Now, I've been a little busy, fighting, cursing, and arguing the masts into place on the Sprukidd - I'm keeping the operating name for now, and I figure, she'd do good for ROKN - they used the Oto 5" on the KD-I, they did get USN ships, and Standard, and domestic-built a Tomahawk-esque missile, and use their own ASROC. Of course, they went from the Gearings into the KDX programme, so I figure Sprukidd might make a modest intermediary. I've just got to fit the boats, the side walls, and put a Lynx on the pad, and she's gravy in the dish. Finally. One down, too many Spruances to go. I'll probably pause for another ship that I'm thirsting to do though. It's heretically delicious to think of.

As always - Questions, Comments, Queries and Rude Remarks are welcome.

It looks very interesting Simon. I would suggest you to replace the SPS-40 with an SPS-48 since your Sprukidd carries Standard missiles.
