Shamrock got a reaction from mtaylor in Eskader shop Stockholm selling off old inventory
I just noticed that the Eskader shop is celebrating their 90:th anniversary and are selling out a lot of old kits. If you are looking for something special it might be of interest (does not know if they ship outside Sweden, but it may be worth to try)

Shamrock got a reaction from mtaylor in Local culture: What are some essential buildings, institutions, businesses, etc. to docks and shipyards before the 18th century?
Maybe not the part of the world that you are looking for, but the city of Karlskrona in Sweden is a world heritage site with lots of history. It is still a naval port, with modern shipyard, but a lot of the old buildings (one of the earliest dry docks, ropewalk building and so on) are still there - possible to visit with a guide (as I said, naval area - no free roaming around) Naval City of Karlskrona - World Heritage Sweden
The whole city is built for the naval port with wide streets (to parade through)
Take a look att google maps - satellite view.
Made my military service there in the seventies on the island of Kungsholmen - Kungsholms fort - a fortification at the Karlskrona inlet.
Can´t tell you about any brothels though......, but outside of that the city is well worth both some closer studies and maybe a visit
This is an interesting site - also in english Start | Världsarvet Örlogsstaden Karlskrona (orlogsstadenkarlskrona.se)

Hi, I recently bought this kit together with the detail-up set of screws, but as I understand from this post is that the abovementioned screws are not included? So where did you find them?
Great personal detail-up, I will certainly steal ideas from you!!

Shamrock got a reaction from popeye the sailor in USS Essex by RGL - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1/350 - PLASTIC - as she appeared in February 1944
Would an early touchdown (before a wire) rip the landing gear off, or are the wires low positioned so that the wheels will roll over? Anyway - very impressive build when seeing the detailing and weathering👏

Really a great idea - I began to wonder a few posts ago why the supports where sideways (have not read all postings) - but now I see. And no need for a shelf........ 👏

Excellent! The blueish colour is new to me, was it used only in the Pacific? A certain period and only on some ships? I have always had the impression that WW2 warships were grey or maybe camouflage pattern (like Bismarck). It looks great, and the rubber marks on the flight deck is also great.
