This morning the UPS guy came to the office bearing gifts!
The USS Barb!
Though the on-line catalog said it would be the USS Flasher. I like Fluckey's boat all the same.
Also the Type VII cut away was included.
The Type VII is only ONE model not two. It has removable side plates. I kinda thought that was what it would be after looking closer to the websites.
Military Issue also threw in the 2009 winter catalog.
They now have a Type VII 1/125 scale for $395.00 and a 1/350? scale Liberty Ship for $995.00. Both made of Philippine Mahogany. Same as the Yorktown and Barb.
WILL POWER!
I'm done for now. Just sit back and admire my new additions to the house.
Also (with assembly required) are 1/350 scale plastic Akagi and Kongo, $349.00 and $199.00 respectively.
Back to the original RSColonel querry. There is a 1/72 scale (52" long) plastic Gato-class for $99.95. It says simulated hull panels. Not sure if that means removable for cut-a-way view.
Still kinda eyeing that 1/125 scale Type VII.
NO!!!
Will power.
