Steve Allen's Greatest Modeling Wish ... Fulfilled!

[Guest GarthKidman]

Ok ... Lexington never served off Vietnam, and the picture is of the USS Wasp. But it IS an SCB Essex in 1/350, which is all that really matters, right?

Note, p.8 lists USS Intrepid ... which had the "other" SCB bow-type. No long-hull Essex, however.

ok Steve, calm donw or the buzz might wear off before the kit arrives...I mean, it's not like it's anything cool, like a 1/35 CORRECT T-80or anything...yeesh.

[Steven P Allen]

Heresy!

 

This is better than an R/C 1/16 Air Jordan T-90 with operating main gun!

Steven,

 

I can't believe you're aren't interested in ordering a model.

 

Joanne - who has to admit she's never seen anyone quite that caffeinated

[Steven P Allen]

No caffeine, Joanne; just a childhood dream.

Hey, at least we have female lurkers in here...

 

anywho...Panda models may or may not do anything else...all the "serious" people have pretty much written the company off since all they seem to currently be doing is releasing the same kit with different names...ie the Burke/cole/churchill....

 

Mayne, with Trumpeter pointing the way, they will get serious, but don't hold your breath.
