O hell ye. All over the Islands its a choice between soggy bogs in the low areas and rocky tops to the high points. Some very interesting rock formations to along the spine of longdon. Good cover for troops but would hate to be in there when the shells started bouncing off them.

el_jere,

I don't have an A-4B, but there is a shop near me that is selling off a massive amount of kits that they bought from an estate sale. I'll have a look for you next time I'm in. I've bought a few kits, the prices were quite good & kits in great shape. (Boxes open, parts still in bags.)

I did some looking last night & the only thing I found was a pre-war Hermes from PM Models(?), not the same ship. I did find one fellow who scratchbuilt one from layers of sheet styrene & signage foam though!
