I'd say the aft gun on that S-boat looks different... if I recall most of them had a Flakvierling on the stern, but that looks like a single heavier one, like a 37-50mm. Love the camo on it though.

That Dreadnought is absolutely stunning. I would love to have that or a 1:96 Nagato to power around the lake not far from where I live. I wonder what the average investment cost is for say, that Dreadnought or equivalent sized Battleship?

My Iron Duke cost me around � 500-00 to scratchbuild and get on the water. See it in Scratchbuild :heh: :heh: :heh: :wave_1: :wave_1: at the top.

I wish I had the room to build and store ships of that scale, I�m scrounging for space for my 1/350 ships as it is!

I was wondering, has anyone ever made a large scale aircraft carrier and tried to land / takeoff a RC aircraft from the deck? That would be neat to see.
