I have had a few sets of aircraft to review for the cruiser magazine and I can say that I have not seen a better sample of the model makers art. Order kit WEM AS7008 you get 3 Warlus aircraft in grey resin, they do a photo-etch for their aircraft as well. This allows you to make a model of the aircraft for the model of your ship, the fret contains props, wheels, struts, m.guns and a host more goodies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From: aubrey Subject: Colors for Soviet CV Minsk I need to know the correct colors for the hull, flight deck, deck and bridge area. Im working with the Aoshima kit and only have Japanese instructions. If anyone has info or a color photo, or where I can get one, please let me know. Thanks, Ken Aubrey ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From: Dave Carter Subject: 1/700 Walrus/other aircraft you'd like to see Hi Ryan, >> I am Tim Newell's son, and I am looking for a 1/700 Supermarine Walrus to put on my H.M.S. Rodney kit. I think that Tamiya put one in their H.M.S. Prince of Wales. Maybe someone out there has a spare one, or maybe Caroline knows << We do our own "Airstrike 700" range of 1/700 Scale aircraft. Yep, you get 3x Walruses in a pack, extremely finely cast to scale in resin. However, no props, wheels etc. There are, however, Walrus wheels on our 1/700 "Fixed Wing Aircraft parts" set. The struts are straight so can be fabricated from stretched sprue. The aircraft (WEM AS 7008) are £2.95 for 3 and the prices for the large etched brass set: WEM PE 715 1/700-1/600 Fixed Wing Aircraft parts £3.36 WEM PE 715A **ABOVE less FULL Heavy Bomber Undercarriage parts £2.94 (a small proporion of the sets, which we are knocking out at a lower price to those of you who won't be building Sunderlands, Halifaxes etc). Post Free. However, unless you plan on building any other subjects, this probably wouldn't be worth while.. Bill Gruner of Pacific Front Hobbies in the US is also carrying the Airstrike range and the etched brass sets. If anyone out there is prepared to buy 10 bags of any 1/700 Scale aircraft subject, we would be prepared to master and cast it. Subjects already covered are: WEM AS7000 S.M. 79 (3) WEM AS7001 S.M. 81 (3) WEM AS7002 S.M. 84 (3) WEM AS7003 Macchi M.C.202 (5) WEM AS7004 Seakings (3) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7005 Sea Harriers (5) WEM AS7006 Barracuda Mk II(3) WEM AS7007 Firefly (5) WEM AS7008 Walrus (3) WEM AS7009 Seafox (5) WEM AS7010 Sea Hurricanes (5) WEM AS7011 Fulmar (5) WEM AS7012 Skua(5) WEM AS7013 Swordfish(3) WEM AS7014 Seafire(5) WEM AS7015 HalifaxIII(2) WEM AS7016 Phantom F4B(3) WEM AS7017 Albacore(3) WEM AS7018 Hawker Typhoon(5) WEM AS7019 Hawker Tempest(5) WEM AS7020 Bristol Beaufort(3) WEM AS7021 Roc(5) WEM AS7022 Westland Whirlwind ·twin engine fighter..(3) WEM AS7023 Sunderland(2) WEM AS7024 A4 Skyhawk (5) WEM AS7025 A7 Corsair(5) WEM AS7026 A6 Intruder(3) WEM AS7027 Tracker (3) WEM AS7028 F8 Crusader(3) WEM AS7029 Huey(5) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7030 Chinook(2) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7031 Devastator(5) WEM AS7032 Fairey Battle (5) WEM AS7033 FW200 Focke Wulf Condor(2) WEM AS7034 FJ4B Fury(5) WEM AS7035 A5A Vigilante(3) WEM AS7036 Short Stirling Mark 1(2) WEM AS7037 Douglas AD Skyraider (3) WEM AS7038 Skywarrior A-3 (3) WEM AS7039 Skynight (3) WEM AS7040 Skyhawk(5) Same as Skyhawk no. 24 WEM AS7041 Piasecki/Vertol H-21 Workhorse WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7042 S-58 Whirlwind/S55(5) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7043 Cobra/Sea Cobra (5) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7044 Bell 47/Sioux (5) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7045 Wyvern S4 (5) WEM AS7046 Firebrand(3) WEM AS7047 Cutlass(3) WEM AS7048 Scimitar(3) WEM AS7049 S-58/Wessex (3) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7050 Sea Fury (5) WEM AS7051 Attacker(5) WEM AS7052 Cougar (5) WEM AS7053 Buccaneer (3) WEM AS7054 AEW Skyraider (3) WEM AS7055 Panther (5) WEM AS7056 Lynx (5) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7057 Supermarine Seahawk (5) WEM AS7058 Wasp/Scout (5) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS7059 Hornet/Sea Hornet (3) WEM AS7060 Vought Vindicator (3) WEM AS 7061 Curtiss Seagull (5) WEM AS 7062 Sikorsky Seahawk(3) WITH ETCHED BRASS WEM AS 7063 Gloster Gladiator (5) WEM AS 7064 Supermarine Sea Otter (3) WEM AS 7065 Banshee F-2 WEM AS 7066 Sikorsky/Westland H5F Dragonfly WEM AS 7067 Sikorsky S-56 Mojave WEM AS 7068 Grumman F3 F1 WEM AS 7069 Bristol/Westland Belvedere WEM AS 7070 Kaman HH-43 Huskie WEM AS 7071 North American F86 Sabre WEM AS 7072 Grumman F11-F Tiger WEM AS 7073 Grumman F7-F Tigercat WEM AS 7074 Grumman F8-F Bearcat WEM AS 7075 North American AJ-1 Savage WEM AS 7076 Rockwell OV-10 Bronco WEM AS 7077 Bell V-22 Osprey WEM AS 7078 Sea Stallion WEM AS 7079 CurtisSBC Helldiver biplane WEM AS 7080 Convair B36 WEM AS 7081 Lockheed TR1/U2R WEM AS 7082 Sea Venom WEM AS 7083 Brewster Buffalo WEM AS 7084 Vultee Vengeance WEM AS 7085 SR-71 Blackbird WEM AS 7086 Martin RB-57F Reconnaissance WEM AS 7087 Curtiss A12 Shrike WEM AS 7088 Curtiss Seamew WEM AS 7089 Grumman Albatross WEM AS 7090 Cessna Bird-dog WEM AS 7092 Vickers Wellington WEM AS 7093 Blenheim WEM AS 7094 N.

However, the NS Savannah is 1/350 Scale, not 1/450, so there is a wider choice of rails etc. for this subject from a variety of manufacturers.

Garzke, Jr., and Robert F. Sumrall. _Battleships_. Annapolis: USNI Press, 1976. What's missing are the cross-section stations placed on the longitudinal elevations, so there's no way to use the lines depicted. But it's a start....
