If any of you really want a destroyer I can make you a hull and main turrets for either a USN Gearing, or a IJN Akizuki, and hay lets remember in some battles these little guys can re-arm and in all battles they only have a 2 minute rule not a 5 minute, so they can be nasty! Bryan
just finished the ribs, keel and subdeck on the Shimakaze. I'll glue it together and take a pic this weekend
I have molds for both USN Gearing and IJN Akizuki, the Akizuki is actually longer than a Gearing and was often mistaken as a Cruiser, but under IRCWCC both have 1.5 units so a nice SPurt Gun (full unit) and a half unit pump and you got a dangerous little tiger there, and in things like convoy where they can re-arm, they become really nasty.
Yeah I was looking up the Akizuki's stats last night and at 440 ft long, might be one of the easier destroyers to fit everything into.
Here are some pics of hull and turrets http://ontarioattackforce.multiply.com/photos/album/18#10 http://ontarioattackforce.multiply.com/photos/album/18#11 http://ontarioattackforce.multiply.com/photos/album/18#13 http://ontarioattackforce.multiply.com/photos/album/18#14 For those that are curious []
If you really want a destroyer I can make both IJN Akizuki and USN Gearing destroyers from molds I have but I would not say these are beginner friendly as everything needs to be kept light and battling them is a different fish also. Go with the Kent then later build the destroyer if not I have a nice Cruiser mold later you can try also (IJN Mogami)Good in IRCWCC, Awesome in MWC.
$100 + shipping. ($90 was the one time only Sean-only price) Still a good price for a usable cruiser hull.
Ok i have a few more questions.1, how will it hold up in a battle when i get up close and personal with the other ships next year?2, And is it a fiberglass hull or a scratch build hull?3, how many battle units are there?
As a cruiser, it won't stand and deliver like a BC or BB... it's not supposed to. It will be good running around and shooting from a safe distance. If you mean, how will the hull stand up to BB gunfire, then it'll take it with no problems. It is a fiberglass hull, and in MWC fast gun it is 3 units.
