BTW, Joe, or anyone, if you can provide decent detail refs for flightdeck vehicles.. either plans or measuremets to be used in conjunction with photos, please let us know...BTW, masters are completed for your V22 Osprey (which, as you know, we did at your request) but Peter hasn't done the etched parts design yet...we're getting there! << Thank you _very_ much. As I said, my order will be coming very soon (end of month I get my yearly bonus). To those of you out there who need 1/700 aircraft, get the Airstrike sets and skip the Hasegawa and Aoshima sets. I bought Sea Harriers and they're better than anything included in kits - correctly sized and scaled. Just have patience with the photo etch parts, and your air wing will be as good as the ship it flies from, if not better. I will start looking through my photos and references for flight deck vehicles, and I hope other members of this list will do the same. I was just surprised that noone has noticed this detail missing from their CV models before.

Includes plans and detail shots.

What color is the interior of a Spruance-class DD or Perry-class FFG? I'm working on the new (?) Academy/Minicraft 1:700 Spruance. I'll try to do a review when I'm further along.

I have done the 1:350 SMS Emden (Revell i think), its tiny compared to my 1:350 Academy Titanic.... but a few German dreadnoughts, like the nassau, Goeben, or even Dreadnought herself would be very appreatiated by modellers.... What are your thoughts?

I do not believe that it is yet available outside of Europe, but should be shortly.
