Hi John,

Hey Nektarios:

Did you run out of modern US Navy subjects?

Looking forward to seeing your Japanese ships also.

No i m not out of U.S.N. subjects but in order to increase the rate in which i build ships i build several ships of the same navy. when i ll finish these batch of ships i ll start building either Russian stuff----> 4 Kirovs, 4 Slava 1 Kiev and 1 Kuznetsov or build the 3 Iowas

Good Lord man, what are planning on doing?

Man would I love to have a stash like that. My wife laughs at my flea fleet, what she calls 1/700th.

Things that I would like to build this year are the LHD 3 and LHD 7 both Revell kits and One of the newer Dragon Tico kits. That is what I am trying to get for X-mas.

Curretnly though I start a LCC20 (trumpter plastic kit) and the Dragon DD993 Kidd class. Then I will finish the two mine hunters. After this list I might start working on CVNs.

Great show Nektarios

OMG i intended to build CV-41 - CVN-77, but that went out of the window with all the variations of Essex, so its now looking more like CV-1 - CVN-77 and all that Nektarios has listed,

So since i am only 50 i better stop typing and start building

I know what you mean John. I had started with the intention of building just the postwar carriers CV-59 onwards then i wanted to build the Midway class as well and then i wanted to build AVT-16. Now i want to build most of the postwar Essex's. I will have to stop this and not add more to my list because i m afraid i won t make it.

My best wishes to all of you for a merry Christmas and a pic of the shipyard showing slow but steady progress.

Merry Christmas Mate

Ho ho ho...

Merry Christmas, got a HMS Invincible 1982 and USS Bunker Hill CG, can't wait to build!

What era will your Bunker Hill be Avery? Did you get the stuff i sent u a while ago?

As built I believe. Speaking of which, does anyone know where I might find PE for Tico cruisers that would include radars and helo netting and details? There is a pretty basic set from Flagship Models, but I would like a little more detail, and if possible PE masts.

I got the stuff you sent, thanks. I will send a list of the radars I need for Oriskany when I get back from vacation in Baltimore on the 29th

There is the GMM USN/JMSDF set in 1/700. It has pretty much everything you need.
