    That’s a fairly rare ship. At one time you could order a fiberglass hull from the Australia vendor. Someone also has a laser cut wood hull kit available. Is been a long time since I’ve seen either sale sale.

    I think the wood kit might have been done by (Mark Jenks) "RCengr", Not certain on that but contact him for availability,,, https://rcwarshipcombat.com/members/rcengr.817/

    Yo dude,

    Mark's @rcengr Lasercut kit was offered by Strike. that's where I got my Texas. there are like two other dudes that I know of that have kits they..... were trying to build back in like 2017. I haven't heard from any of those dudes since like early 2018.

    If the lead in Dayton, and Mark don't pan out, it might be worth asking @KeriMorgret if they have any left over in the rafters they'd be willing to sell, but I think Strike is all packed away looking for a buyer.

    Far as I'm aware, my TX is the only one currently operational. Go build her a sister so she's not so lonely.

    There is an active USS Texas in our club. All I have is a couple of cell phone pictures, but here they are

    Matt - if no one wants to let go of their kit, I will hook you up. I just need to go shopping for materials.

    It looks like I have found someone willing to part with an unassembled kit. Thanks all.
