Problem is, although I've seen the kits, I cannot remember the name of the company. I'll keep working on it !!!!!! << Bob, I believe the company you're thinking of is: Harbor & Ocean Maritime Accessories P.O. Box 425 Stockton Springs, ME 04981 USA 1-800-448-5567 Call or write for a free catalog. H&O ran an ad in on pg 58 of the Feb '98 issue Model Railroader. This is the same issue that ran Walther's fold-out ad on their new waterfront series (pgs 100 - 102).

Sorry, no Prinz Eugen in their list. Their website is at: http://www.modelexpoinc.com Other ship models available in their most recent flyer are: Heller Gneisenau $24.88 Bismark 24.88 Tirpitz 24.88 Forrestal 24.88 Tamiya Missouri 48.88 Airfix Iron Duke 9.88 Ark Royal 9.88 Warspite 9.88 I'm not really knowledgeable on the prices, but the Missouri seems quite a bit lower than what I recall seeing in magazines, so am assuming the others are equally so. Hope this is of some value to someone.
