Sherman 18
Master at Arms
Okay Cooper asked about these. LHS has been getting them in, I did get one I-400 and built it, but "little hands" got it - and well the sub and plane became part of history. It was fun to build. I replaced it and while I was at it I picked up the other three kits that were there. All are 1/700 scale by Hobby Boss, cheap and pretty easy to build - tip remove the locating tabs when assembling the upper and lower hulls. I messed up the Typhoon by not listening to myself. First is the late war Gato class US navy, second is the I-400 Japanese Navy (coolest out of all of the subs - just me), third is the Akula class Russian Navy, and the forth is the Typhoon class Russian Navy. The Akula is ready for a good clear coat and then decals. The Gato has been the worst fitting out of all of them, but nothing that can't be over come. I plan on doing more of these kits, they are just fun, cheap and different.
. Do you by chance have any other 1/700 vessels so we could get an idea of the size of that Typhoon? It looks like it is a really really big boat. And are you going to put any kind of camo on any of them, or all just solid colors like the Alpha?
. Please post some more pics when you get the chance to start putting some paint on them.
