Curt if they are axis ships all you have to do is have them sink side by side 10 eh .. and i have tomany already and i plan to get the 4 light cruisers build oneday. Krijn
Iowa, huge, but she was a cool as- ship, and will always be one i would love to see up close.. Krijn, i hope she is able to battle next year, she and hood are going to be just as deadly as tripper and both bismarck when there together.. Nikki

Yes. Just not sure if it will be for Combat or just as a pretty RC with working bb cannons. Haven't decided. I keep going back and forth on it. I would probalby build it in a way so that if I decided to make it combat it's just a matter of cutting out the hull but the components inside would be rigged for combat.
