That is some great, intricate detailing work, John! I love it!J Goodacre wrote:Bob and Lucky
Nice builds. Here are some shots of the LHD 7 Iwo Jima that I started a few weeks ago, as always any comments are welcome.
Or as close as we can. The Iwo Jima was part of Fleet Week this year, I attempted to go to the city and go aboard. Then the wife mentioned how much it would cost me. Not meaning dollars either.NukeMM wrote: That is some great, intricate detailing work, John! I love it!
We just gotta make it right, don't we?
They all look great BobBob J wrote:Thanks for all the comments everyone! John the Iwo is looking good. Heres a couple more. I need to work on my photography skills!

Thank you Nick. no they do not sell them separately but you can always ask me in the future. I plan to get more Essex class kits and i won t use all these tugs.nick wrote:Excellent work Nektarios!
Does Dragon also sell them separately?
Yes but who would display a full hull ship on a stand with full hull tugs next to it?Nektarios wrote: Arnaud,
I think they did that because their essex has a full hull option. A display stand is included in the kit.

B-11 is the Radar director for Sea Dart.Sauragnmon wrote:Alright, I'm kinda stumped - I don't know what kit it comes in, as John sent it amongst a bunch of things, but I have here this European weapons set - I know because it's got what looks like a Meroka, it comes with a Goalkeeper and the Oto Melara 5" as well as the Oto Breda 3", Mk26, Sea Dart, and a number of other weapons. But, these I know, what I'm trying to identify, would be Parts 11 - Actually, the weapons fit tells me a few things it comes in - the Type 42 and the Invincible would be sources of this set. Part B-11, two of them, they Look like some kind of fire control or director radar, but I can't figure out what they are. I'm thinking of using them on the Shirane I've been modifying the hell out of, instead of the ASROC guidance radars. Information welcomed. Additionally, I wouldn't mind knowing what parts B-48, B-50 and 53/54 are.
Gladly appreciated in advance - I figured ONE of you boys might know.
I'm still planning this. Since there are more 1/700 models here in our LHS, I'll give it a shot. The size is too big, not too small, unlike those MASSIVE 1/350 scale dioramas! And the best part, they're all modern US Navy ones!Nektarios wrote:What diorama is it gonna be???nick wrote:Thanks Nektarios, I hope these would be hopeful on my first 1/700 dio I'm planning soon
