The build is nearing completion but I need one last Sea Sparrow box launcher to complete the weapon systems. I have robbed the SS from my DML Spruance model but I need one more. I considered casting another, but the cost and time it would take to get everything here is prohibitive. If I strike out here, my only alternative is scratch building. If anyone has one in thier scrap box, I would be willing to pay a fair price for it as well as shipping. Please contact me off board at shipmodeler@sbcglobal.net. Many thanks. Rusty White ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From "Tom Sater" Subject Ship recognition models Lorna, I am trying to find out some information on WWII Japanese & German ship recognition models. These are very detailed metal models made in 1941. I am having trouble finding anything about the original stuff, just the new models people make now. I just want some background information & some idea of what they are worth. I appreciate your time.
