I agree with your concern about Lindberg. The up side is thet the kit is big enough to modify as needed. When I built the Lindberg USS MELVIN I found sources for all the 20 and 40 MM weapons. This made all the difference in the world. I was also able to rebuild the mast and make the kit into a good looking Fletcher class destroyer. I did the same with their PT Boat. The cast 20MM and twin 50's and some brass and plastic work made all the difference in the world. I'm hoping to do the same with the I20. I've built the 1/72 Gato and 1/72 U-Boat. I want this to complete the "big three" collection.

I wish the RC side of this wasn't so expensive.
