    All
    I have outfitted my new HMS Hood with the ship's motor launches from Battler's Connection.
    They are made out of foam, and a couple took hits at our recent Denmark Straits event. They just popped out of their cradles, and then floated (unright I might add), until I was able to retrieve them.
    They just needed a couple of coats of paint, and they were ready to go, and look great.
    I also received them in less than a week from order.
    Well done to the BC team.

    I ran out of time prior to the event, and had to leave them gray. But I have seen some photos where they were black and white, and they would look much better. Although perhaps during wartime they would have been gray anyhow.

    I see they have newer ones then what I have had so far. Nice to know as I need a few of those you have.

    If you can shoot them off, then you can keep them. Haha.
