    It's going to skin the fur off any Allied or Axis ship.

    Looks great Curt, but now to pretty to battle. And you missed the Admiral's cabin in the stern? Or did you decide not to include it?

    Never too pretty to batte....think of Tomb Raider...lol.
    I thought about the stern gallery. I was going to cut a insert and make a brass insert unfortuntaly this would result in a unlawful weapon where the stern gallery could be used as a knife edge and slice open hull sides. Or used as a batterying ram. Honestly though I wanted to but it would be destroyed in no time.

    I agree with you there Curt, it just means there is more to destroy.

    I got the model outside in the sunlight for better pics. I put clear coat on the model and installed the "correct" turret.
    Did more touch ups on the model. I will post these in the PHOTOS section of the forum.

    Ihad the PE and Yamato out for a gorgeous cruise at the pond yesterday. I started with teh PE and ran that ship for 2 1.5 hrs. I got great pics from the waterline and 2 decent videos of the ship cruising.
    Yamato I ran for 2hrs steady up and down the pond. Both models performed without a glitch.

    Just 2 minor projects. Getting Bismarck ready and coverting Yamato to Combat-X style. Just adding 2 cannons.Easy.

    Califorina is the next project. I just ordered Termite turrets for Yamato and Graf Spee along with TERMITE lifeboats, searchlights, some rangefinders for California, and some AAs for Graf Spee.

    I am looking for Tirpitz plans currently. Prince of Wales will be easy to do.

    bb26 is getting me a VU from Ralph. So I am definitly converting that ship for COMBAT-X and I gotta tell ya that is one great little ship to drive. I will definitly get a VDT to go with this one. Lots of projects but there going to be great projects. I can't wait to complete them all.
