Hi, anotherone from the midwest{Chi. west burbs}

Hi

Hmmmmmmmmm, , , where to start? Well my present projects in process are all 1/700 scale ships{4 converted Tamiya kits "Indy circa Aug. 1945}, my "Indy" is circa 1938,Northampton class{cut down in scale by 10"}Chicago circa 1934 WITH torpedo tubes, retrieveing one of her "scout planes". Northampton circa 1942 raid on Watje Atoll{with guns firing}. And the San Francisco during her "trial run" 1934{also "cut down to the proper 588"}. Arizona circa 7/12/41@ 06:45. "Pensy" circa 7/12/41 IN drydock with Cassin and Downs{also about 06:45}. Also the Hornet launching #8 bomber of the "Doolitle Raid{Ted Dawsons "the Ruptered Duck with flaps down"}. All in diarama format.

 Thats for starters, later I will add the complete family of Boeing model 299's in 1/72 scale. Then SOMEWHERE along the line some "Star Trek" star ships.

It should be noted, that I will not model "Ari." & "Pensy" with "kit" broadside guns, I will have those positions open as they were at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. I will scratch build the open positions on both. Just like the pictures show, even with the canvas deck shades overhead.
