When I have tried to locate some on the web, I've come up with only a very few links, and those are very limited. I'm particularly interested in USN Subs, USN Flush deck DD's, as well as the later Benson, Fletcher, etc. classes. Can anyone give me some leads? Thanks a lot! Nick Onaitis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From "ed arini" Subject Photos of the Minas Gerais Photos of the Minas Gerais can be found in the Vickers Archives section of the website below http//www.dockmuseum.org The Minas Gerais had a close sister ship the Sao Paulo. The Brazilian Navy website may have further photos of the vessels ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From "Stephen Allen" Subject Revell flush deck destroyer No, unfortunately, although some modellers have successfully adapted similar scaled guns etc from the HR Products line of white metal parts. Your best upgrade 'parts' will be decent references and plastic stock to replace relevant kit parts. There are a number of good builds of the revell kit displayed online, both here (SMMLonline), and at on other web sites catering for plastic modellers such as Internetmodeler, modelwarships.com and steelnavy.com. regards Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Model club & SMMLcon Information ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) From Subject IPMS/USA rol call Bill I will be there with lots of money to spend and my golf clubs.
