LOL! Thanks Matt. I checked out Tom's Model works, an they definitely have some sets there made for the Rev. 1/570. So as soon as I can save up for it, I'll check out both places and see whats available. I hadn't thought of Gold Medal. And as for being a rivet counter, I am a card carrying member and recovering 'Advanced Modeler Syndrome' patient. :)
If i can get this boat going, at least with the preliminary wash up and painting, i'll be thrilled. My sister's cure: just dive right in! Thanks again, Matt. Shaun
