ding ding .... AMPHIBS ARRIVING
Posted by deattilio on Saturday, February 15, 2014 5:02 PM
In addition to the spurt of interest in Amphibious Warfare ships such as the LHD-1 USS Wasp class and LPD-17 USS San Antonio class there is yet another emerging Over the Horizon! I was thumbing through this month's Scale Military Modeler International and found that Orange Hobby will be producing a 1/700 LSD-41 USS Whidbey Island. Visiting their web site revealed that it will also be offered as LSD-45 USS Comstock. There is no date of release provided so continuous monitoring of the potential outlets will continue............. http://www.orangehobby.com/logs/243282197.html

Trying to get my hobby stuff sorted - just moved and still unpacking.

Squid life has always been more interesting in the littoral.

Now that the canoe clubbers & Trade Schoolers have worked out that  the biggest hulls with black-shoe command slots are over here . . .

The kit manufacturers get lots of things to "accessorize" amphib ships.  Which helps attract an increasing fan base, too.

I keep watching, though, for an LSD-36, just have never pulled the trigger.

I wouldn’t pass on adding one of those to my stash as I did a couple splashes from the USS Anchorage too. A Cleveland, Dubuque and Cayuga would be an awesome addition if said ships were readily available in 1/700 and within reasonable $$$.
