RGL Posted October 7, 2019 Author #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, popeye the sailor and mtaylor 3 Greg

lmagna Posted October 7, 2019 #337 Posted October 7, 2019 If you decided on the York class, I could email you a pretty detailed set of plans for the 1942 configuration of the HMS Exeter in PDF format in 1/200, 1/350, or 1/700 as part of your research documents.

RGL Posted October 8, 2019 Author #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......

You will likely give me inspiration to finish my Essex once you start this one. I have looked at my poor neglected Essex many times and thought I should finish her. Maybe now's the time.

popeye the sailor Posted October 9, 2019 #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. I look forward to your new adventure.......I enjoy your work RGL, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 4 I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
