RGL Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share #334 Posted October 7, 2019 I’m now torn, I’m awaiting Trumpeter to release the USS Langley and Whilst I’ll buy it I’ll then probably wait for an aftermarket set. so, in the interim, a Kirov class cruiser, a Essex class Carrier, a York Class cruiser? A Soviet Cold War destroyer? Suggestions? What would you like to see? Old Collingwood, mtaylor and popeye the sailor 3 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share #341 Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks mate, unfortunately I’m not very good at aircraft but the only way to get better is to do more. I just bought a Essex for $90 (US$60) and now will start storing up an inordinate amount of money on upgrades. @CDW did the same kit a few years ago and I’ve been torn, Infini is bringing out an Exter upgrade, but I just can’t get excited about it. the Langley should be good but needs a few years for upgrades. Why the fascination for upgrades?; the modern kits are just designed for multimedia; if that’s what it takes to keep it going that’s OK with me. im thinking of having aircraft landing instead of a bird park...... lmagna, popeye the sailor, GrandpaPhil and 3 others 6 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye the sailor Posted October 9, 2019 Share #344 Posted October 9, 2019 wish these upgrades were around when I was a kid........the experience would have done me good you've done so much with them, I can see your enthusiasm about them. not only that, so many models are made from the original molds...half the time they see no updates or modifications, to reflect newly discovered details about the subjects. then there's the detail that gets molded to the parts, without the thought of embellishment.
