Hull numbers might help the search, "USS New York" having been a gun gondola; a frigate; an armored cruiser, a battleship, a submarine, and now, a San Antonio-class amphibious ship.

Will guess you mean either SSN-696, or LPD-21--as a kit of BB-34 would have all the BB-35 USS Texas fans buying them in scores.

I built another bronco model, my first, the pre-dread Ting Yuen.

It was a very very nice kit.

Yes,I'm looking into the LPD -21. Thanks for the info on the reviews. Sounds like the Bronco edges out the Gallery kit.Next would be getting a kit at a decent price as it sounds like some after market parts will be required.

I'm surprised there isn't much chatter on this model !!

Plenty of Chatter and built-ups, just a lot more build-ups in 700th scale:

Tracy, did you post them using the "Use rich formatting"?

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Yes and no. I know how to, but I didn't have a lot of time last night and just pasted them into a rich text window. I didn't go back and link things up the way I normally do when posting links with different text. Most forum software is smart enough that any http URL pasted is automatically turned into hypertext, but I guess either Kalmbach got the one piece of software that doesn't, or they disabled it.

I have the same problem here, and the "name" tag doesn't work either.
