    Sorry tug first time in photobucket didn't mean too make any extra work for you. And yeah stoko these are early photo's I got from Michael at dreadnought last night. The real surprises will be next week. I have a custom package landing here from strike models. He has put together a custom hardware pack for it with rudders and pumps too power this beast and the whole iowa deck and super deck and hardware components. Poor bloke had him working his butt off the last 3 weeks putting together and researching all the components for both ships too be legal in our format. So a big shout out too strike models for all there hard work. And of coarse micheal from dreadnought this hull will be a custom made as mention before with poly carb cap rails. fibre glass deck and sub deck and windows cut at a responable price. $520 dollars all done and I hear stories of those cap rails lasting for over 10 years. I got my fingers crossed that Michael and strike can work out a deal for importing these big awesome ships into the states for you guys, with michaels hulls and his gear with stephens cmc meanchines it sure would make a fine kit for even the noice builders.

    Way cool :) I'd drill a hole in the underside of them to pin them to the deck!
