VELL , YOU HAFF the TANKSCHIFF IN ZE PERISCOPE ,VY DON,T YOU ZINK HER ALREADY??? HEY MANNY the ship looks good . I got a little MARU somewhere and I thought it was neat that at least one company saw fit to put out some liners ,even if they,re JAPANESE and most folks never heard of them . The scale is kinda small too . Oh , I got some neat little ships from REVELL of GERMANY ,boy , was I surprised to see they were 1/1200!!! But , you know what they were pretty decently detailed for that size even . (it,s a shame they ,REVELL didn,t see fit to do them in 1/350 or somewhere therabouts . I just acquired a sub ,a REVELL U-BOOTE it,s about maybe 16 inches long ,(maybe smaller ) Boy ,am I gonna have fun with that !This sub will be done waterline above and all else below rondevouing with a schnellboote . The whole thing is going in? a piece of lexan so the bottom does not have to be cut off . I hope you decide which way the tanker is going to expire soon ,the suspense is killing me .     tankerbuilder

Oh no, a Bayerischer would say "I've got a little Maria here". Or across the border "There's nobody quite like Maria.". My favorite part of Germany, and can anyone quite explain why a sea captain would live in Salzburg? Oh, I know, he got called to Bremerhavn. Hey Manny I'm going to get the T2 back up so you can find your range.

Funny you should ask, I have a new idea...I have some 1/700 scale TBF Avenger's from Trumpeter that look to do battle...Imagine them skimming just above the water at a stationary tanker...a couple of fish already in the water leaving wakes...
