I second that!!! Wonderful idea...Anthony P wrote: I would suggest that there is a market for equivalent Roal Navy WW II fittings, with an increasing number of plastic kits available as well as a good number of resin kits which can do with an increased level of detail. Remember, many RN ships have open compass platforms (bridges) as well as delicate light AA...

Melvin,
I am very sorry to hear that your outstanding work became a victim of product pirates. Thank you so much for your hard work. Your fittings are amongst the best which I have ever seen in 1:350 scale and I really like to build them. Keep up your great work please! I would appreciate RN fittings very much too.
Thank you again

Re: 1/350 Kriegsmarine fittings of Veteran models are availa
Melvin, just received a complete range of your new kriegsmarine details. Amazing quality!
My first install will be on the Revell Bismarck, but I am finding no decent reference for the locations for optic/fire-control device on the open bridge or aft fire control center. Do you have a recommended reference for this?

Melvin,
I love your new Kriegsmarine set! Very fine quality!
It's nice to see you planning on expanding into RN stuff too. Perhaps you could also consider doing some USN WWII carrier flight deck vehicles? Trumpeter's Essex class releases in 1/350 could really use them.
Keep up the great work!

Dear M. A. DeBacker,
I am happy that you like these Krigsmarine fittings.If you want to find the reference of Optics and fire controls on the Bridge of Bismarck. 2 books are very good for you to find locations of these fittings and also detail up your Bismarck in many places.
One is Anatomy of the Ship-The Battleship Bismarck released by Conway Maritime Press(Auther is Jack Brower). The othe one is Schlachtschiff Bismarck(Das original in detail) published by Simonfrey Verlag(Auther is Josef Kaiser). The later one is with many real photos and written in German.
Dear Dave and NGaged
I appreciate your compliment and very good suggestions to me. And I will keep going!

Re: 1/350 Kriegsmarine fittings of Veteran models are availa
We Really need the Mk 29 Sea Sparrow launchers and the associated fire control radars, this would help with updating and converting the Nimitz kit, also a set containing the various domes that are on carriers and many US ships, the many sponsons that carry the Sea Sparrow and CIWS would also help.
Thats my Christmas list.

Not wishing to go too far off topic but, as a purchaser of many of your Modern US Navy sets, is there any chance we'll see the SPG 51s back in production Melvin?
John
Hi Melvin. First post here, but I came across this searching for aftermarket parts for my WEM Benjamin Stoddert model: specifically needing higher-quality SPG-51s as well as an SPG-60 (the WEM kit is wrong in how they have it configured), and they didn't include the '60 radar in the kit. I saw some photos somewhere online of both '51 and '60 radars by Veteran Models but for the life of me can't figure out where to get them.
Help!
