    I will eventually be selling laser cut Baltimore eventually, but I don't have the materials right now. I definitely won't be offended if you buy from Modelshipsahoy. If you prefer wood over fiberglass, I might have them available in a month or two.

    @rcengr quick question:
    On the 40 mm quad bofors, how do you get them to print the barrels? Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks,
    Sammy

    You do need to print the Bofors with supports. The slicer should just support the barrels, not put it any place else. Depending on your printer, it may not reliably print the barrels - I can do it, others within in my club can't. Good luck.

    Thanks. I prefer fiberglass butwould try a wood hull and know they are quite sturdy. Esp after building a Golo kit. Love that one. Given the time, i will get the MSA hull. Danke.

    I corrected the 06 level, but I was unable to find an error in the 05 level. I did find a similar error in the aft 03 level, so I corrected that too.

    I do appreciate you bringing the errors to my attention so that I could correct them.
