Looking for elusive Shanghai-Dragon kits.

Check with Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove, California. LAst time I was there I think they had the Alpha vs Ohio set. Their website is WWW.Brookhursthobbies.com

Thanks again folks.  At least I know that I can start looking in the back rooms and auction sites for this one.  I don't build many ships but I have recently had a fascination with modern US Navy ships.  Now, where's the PE bending tool?

Thanks for the info.  Looking them up tonight.  After doing a little research I wonder if the USMC Expeditionary force was ever released other than in S-G's minds.  Should anyone have further info on the USMC AEF I would appreciate it.  Thank you all again for the help.

It certainly was released, at least here in Australia. I have no idea how long ago I bought it, but it must be at least 10-12 years. The copyright date on the side of the box says 1990.

This kit contains:

2x CH-53E
4x CH-46E
2x AH-1W
2x V-22
4x AV-8B
2x  LVTP7
2x M60A3
2x LCM6
1x LCAC

While I am generally hesitant to reccomend them, Great Models has almost all of those kits you have listed above.  I know I got the Tarawa from them 2 months ago during one of their sales.  The only 2 I couldn't find were the USS Ohio vs the whatever and the US Marine Expeditionary Force.

Gotta try Ebay for these hard to find items.   I frequently do when I need reference materials or kits that are hard to locate.

 Deal with reputable sellers with good feedback and you likely will be very satisfied.

To my mind,  it's the place to get hard to find or out of production materials.
