    Alright, I have gotten several inquiries about a kit run of the italian battleship Littorio

    I will be doing another run here in the near future but I would like to gauge interest. If anyone is interested please PM me or reply here so I can get the run quoted with proper quantities. the kit build thread is here: The kit will have the updated keel which removes the need to saw a slot (only error in the first run of kits) www.rcnavalcombat.com/Forum/tabid/5...fault.aspx
    I am also prepairing to mold tertiary and secondary turrets if the rapid protoyped plugs come in ok.


    I will also be doing a first run of mackensen sometime this spring, same deal as the littorio, although mackensen will have the bulk of the superstructure parts laser cut as well.

    -Greg

    Mackensen would be... neat. I emailed you about Littorio for someone else who saw mine in the shop. I will let them know to drop you a line.

    My littorio is still in many small pieces, but you know I'm in for a Mackensen in small pieces as well :)

    Alright I have quotes. The cost for the Littorio as long as at least 5 are sold will be 95$ for the kit plus actual shipping & paypal fees. I would like to place the order within a couple of weeks. Anyone who PM'd me, I will be contacting tonight via email with details.

    Is that for Roma, or for Mackensen?

    I will have more pics of my Roma soon, going to be in the shop this weekend. People going to the Brouhaha on the Bayou, please do NOT tell Christopher Koehler that these are going back into production. He thinks they sold out and are gone, and has no idea that I ordered a second one for his Eagle Scout present :) His dad knows, but the boys don't.

    Come on all you on the fence, littorio is like pasta. You can't just eat one. Order them now! Wait, what??
    Seriously, might not get another chance at a kit like this, and wait until you see the build logs from these kits. I can give you a hint on mine, it will fit into a suitcase so I can fly with it. And maybe the word : TIG : will factor into the build.
