Anyway, here is my OHP, I think I will limit PE to Heli Deck netting, as my eyesight can't put up with PE at the moment:

Looking good

Nicely done Doc!

Looks great! I am currently building the Ingraham kit but will make it the Reuben James, since that is the ship I served on. Hope it turns out as good as yours and Carl's.

You know... a VLS OHP would be interesting to see... Random thought of the moment.

Obsession what obsession???

As a doctor i can detect no sign of this in anyone of us

And now you ll build an OHP that will make mine look underarmed.

Yeah, I'll probably build an OHP at Some point with a little bit of a boost in its armament... but hey, remember my rule, Nektarios - it's not overkill, it's Insurance. But before that, I have my Sprukidd, my Mightier Mo, my Super-Ticon, and my DD-922 projects for the USN alone. Then I have other projects as well.

Almost all work is finished on the 3 Towadas. I can t really finish them until i have PE nets. I ll try to find on my LHS tomorrow. The three ships of the class have some minor diferences such as the positions of the satcom antennas among others.

I used some nice UNREP decals provided by a great friend John Currie.





All questions and comments are welcome.

Nice job on the Towadas!

Does anyone sell yellow gear for the CVNs. I remember a while back someone creating fire trucks and an assortment of tugs. Does anyone know who or how to get a hold of them.

Thanks,

John

Gotta agree with John, good job, they look great

It was Tom-Tom that produced those trucks. I think he stopped producing them a while ago. He may have some unsold.

Some very nice Towadas there Nektarios!

Thanks for the comments on my OHP, i'm not sure that mine will be as good as Carls....we will see!

Happy Modeling!

Thanks for the info, I just might have to build my own then. Man carriers take a long time.

I may have some spare carrier vehicles for you. Send me your address in a PM and i ll mail to you 2-3 types of carrier vehicles. Unfortunately i have no spare fire trucks.

USS Ingraham is finished . In the end I went for the AN/SPS-52. Couldn;t be asked to scratchbuild anything more up-to-date to take its place:

Nicely, done! It looks very clean! Wonderful modifications to the kit, Mathew! I like yours, better than mine.
