    Received my Iowa today. The hull has great symmetry and will be easy to mark waterline. The sides are 2 to 3 times thicker than any other hull ive got at this point. Highly impressed to say the least.thanks for the great hull modelshipsahoy

    Thanks so much Sethie,

    We have worked very hard at finding out how these combat models should be built. We have changed our laminate schedules on all the boats to be super thick sided

    Future deliveries of the Prinz Eugen; Brooklyn and all other soon to be produced boats will follow this same heavily armored sides construction.

    Glad you like it! Go sink some Yamato’s.

    Currently hull offerings
    Brooklyn
    Prinz Eugen (Deck and small parts available very soon)
    Tirpitz (will cut to Bismarck upon request)
    Iowa

    Mold for Baltimore ready in 2 weeks

    Next up Surcouf and Omaha this winter sporting mechanical guns.

    Not sure where we will go from there....
    Ships I’m keen on:
    Arizona
    Hood
    Titanic
    Invincible
    King George V
    Scharnhorst / Gneisenau
    Porter

    Keep in mind our primary product line are scale powerboats Sailboats various other boats/ships and airplanes so combat models development takes back seat sometimes

    Omg! Holy Guacamole. How could I have left that one off?!?!? Thanks for that kick in the brain PBA!

    The Graf Spee is high on my list.... time is my enemy at the moment. Plug building takes time. Anyone have a Graf Spee that they want converted to a solid well made fiberglass kit?

    Flat area under stern is not scale, but besides that, looks very good.

    The flat area makes the rudders more effective for combat... Is thick enough inside that it can be sanded to the proper curves if desired.

    Nope. We have a smaller Arizona plug in storage. Too many other priorities to put any kind of date on that one.
