    [:)]I spoke to Ralph today and I paid for my Graf Spee hull online to Ralph. The fastest easiest transaction. Ralph uses PayPal now and it works great online.

    He is shipping with my order the hull and main turrets, a PE turret, and my KGV MAIN and Secondary Turrets. I can't wait to receive it.

    I am building the Graf Spee under the COMBAT-X RULE Format Graf Spee FLD IS 16,200t. This puts this ship in the >=14,000t - 2 unit pump or a full 50 unit cannon.

    I hope to incorporate this into my Graf Spee for next year.

    Yahoo! A long skinny box arrived just as I was leaving the house. I think it's the Graf Spee. I will open the box after work tonight. Yippee. I can't wait to see it! Looks like the KGV main and secondaries and... a VU turret.
    I think I will start the PRINCE OF WALES. I need an Allie ship to counter Bismarck. lol

    That is awesome. Is that a one piece hull or did that glue the halves.
