Re: cranes and stuff
When will these be up for sale? They don't appear on your site. Also will the USN YD-25 floating crane also make it to 1/350?

Question for Alliance Modelworks
I saw on a post a while ago that you had covered many of the cranes the USN used during WWII. I was wondering if you have the crane in photoetch that was used on the rear of the USS Cumberland Sound and her sisters ? Could you point me to which one of your kits if you do ? I think this crane may have been used on other ships as well, but I do not know enough about the cranes to figure it out.
By the way, I like your kits a lot.
Thank you,
Rob

Re: cranes and stuff
apparently more than one type of crane was used on the ship
This was the "later" type I think. There's one in our USN cruiser crane set (NW35035) that's similar to this both in design and dimension. Linked below.
