OK this is getting old. How long have I waited for someone, other than Lindberg and their Cape class patrol boat, to make a decent medium or high endurance cutter? The answer kids is all my life.
A nice Reliance class, Hamilton class, Healy, Legend, Polar, Alex Haley, Bear, Mackinaw, Wind, Cactus, Chimo, Misquite, Iris, Juniper, Sentinel, Driver, Tampa, Treasury Shall I go on. This list does'nt even list the numerious DDE type cutters or patrol boats.
I have written emails for years to no avail. How about it Trumpeter, Revell, Dragon, Tamiya, etc. etc. Some of the Hamiltons are now missile frigates for other navies. The Taney fired on Kates during the Pearl Harbor attack. There's plenty of historical reasons to produce one. I know I can scratch build one but I don't want to, I want a manufacturer to acknowlage the oldest continuous sea going service the US has.
