Those are really nice! Icing on the cake for any supercarrier model, I'd think.

Does anybody have an extra Captain's Gig like the one in the Trumpeter/Skywave Iowa class kits? I would assume not, since the kits only come with one each, and most folks will place them on their models.

Thanks guys!

Award winning? Think so?

The local IPMS is having a Model of the Year contest next week. I'm bringing my Iowa, but a tank or aircraft will most likely win. I just like to share and let others enjoy. I think we all love seeing others' models in person.

Here are the scratch built aft stack antennas.................One more antenna goes on the aviation shack.

Carl, take your ship. You'll at least draw attention, with the insanity and detail you've put into that.

Snap me a pic of that Mk5 boat you've got, I'd Love to see it... I'm considering PTDockyard, but I'm not sure if that price is one or a set, I didn't notice. It's a promising idea though.

The price you see is for one boat.I think you should get the version with hellfire missiles and 25mm Bushmaster :wave_1:
