Your most wanted ship Kit...

[the Baron]

Check Squadron, I believe he has RANGER in stock...

Thanks, but I'm not interested in a resin kit. I'm still confident that an injection-molded styrene kit in 1/700 will get released.

I like that you have a theme!

The history becomes all the more poignant with a theme for me, and when building I get get lost in the stories knowing that their namesakes were together at a definite, and critical point in time.
I don't build ships, but vehicles and figures from North Africa on all sides.

Cheers

HI WELL if you dont build ships an do amour then i wont bother to post the ships in their test tanks then but you sir enjoy your vehicles an figures then happy modeling to you sir

... understand, but I bet there are some ship folks who'll be mighty disappointed!
We love to hear about and see such great workmanship and dedication to the craft, no matter the subject matter!

Thanks @BOATMAN , hope it wasn't too much trouble.
...just amazing!

Do you know if tank testing for scale boats is like wind tunnel testing for planes? Do the smaller, scale ships behave similar to the full size ones?

Cheers, Brian

WELL Brain no no trouble as i have all my ship models builds in their own files folders not sure about aircraft but small boats bob about in the water any thing under 3 ft or so an dont look realistic as remember you can scale the ship but you cant scale the water as the real ship sail in the same water BUT when models as big as my NIMITZ are on the water they behave like the real ship an dont bob about best i can exsplain it
