    :D:D:woot::woot:The Mighty 'MO' is on it's way to the Stokomoto shipyard. I paid for the kit yesterday. The deck levels will arrive later once thier ready. I also ordered another large HC 970 Motor for Bismarck or Tirpitz.. I had another layer of fiberglass matt added to the hull as well. Will post pics of the kit and give a review once I receive and have a good look at all of it.

    I can see how that would take up a lot of floor space. I'm running out of room here.

    Not in the immediate future but the Hood and the Andrea Dora and the Liberty ship are on my list.

    YAAYYY Missouri arrived. It's out of hte box and on the table. The wooden decks are excellent quality superior to what I received with my Battler's kits. Nice and thick. These decks I am scribing in the planks and staining the decks. The ship is longer than my table. This is my longest model I have ever had.
    The quality is excellent. Plenty of hull room inside particulary in the aft end. No skegs but that works out fine for me I can add those later like I did with Bismarck. I am looing forward to launching this model next summer. Just got to finish VDT, Bismarck and Konig.

    I have always had a fondness for the class. I was able to visit one years ago, and was absolutely amazed.
    I look forward to seeing how she turns out for you.
    I could never bring myself to taking on that many units. But I sure do love seeing other battle them.
