Sure this would have a major factor in exactly the punishment a Supercarrier can take! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From "Pagsuyoin, Art" Subject Next Lexington? Anyone know if/what/when the "USS Lexington" namesake be used again? art ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From "Erhardtsen" Subject French submarine color What color did the French submarines have in World War II? Weyers Taschenbuch der Krigsflotten says seagreen or light gray. Warship in Profiles about the submarine Rubis seems to agree on something green, but at the instructions sheet from LŽARSENALs 1,500 Tonnes Class Submarine it says dark blue. I do normally use Humbrol colors, What numbers is useable? (with what modifications?)

VICTORIOUS. possibly also on monday. (TaT). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) From "Dean A. Markley" Subject USS America Sinking I can understand that this is kept secret but surely it was not hidden from satellites? I am sure the Russians wanted to know what was going on. I wouldn't even be surprised if they had a sub in the area. So, think there is any possibility that pics will show up from "other" sources? Dean ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7) From Joe Norris Subject Brass Propellers? Aloha, I recall seeing a website some time ago where a set of high-quality metal (brass) propellers for the 1/350 CVN-65 were available. Recent searches have turned up nothing. Anybody remember who sold these? Thanks in advance!

These are mostly the ships I offered here a few weeks back, but I've adjusted some prices to encourage bidding. As always, multiple wins have combined shipping.
