                        Not much, other than some Mohawk model maker called Ah-kah-gee (translates into 'Walks with Resin') has sent me some test shots of his latest model on the hood of his car...it was a GT 350...he said it would be completely restored by mid-summer...

                        Now, I hope I really don't have to explain this... :-)

                        I would like to see a HMS Vanguard in 1/350th scale, plus a Renown battlecruiser.

                        Jeff Thanks for the update but the Fuso model just makes my wish list grow even more !!! In anticipation of the North Carolina I got out my technical reference on her by Randall Stoker and plan a visit to her in the spring Hopefully the time frame for the release will match up.

                        Axis is also working on Fuso in 1/350...now THERE's a kit I will be purchasing!

                        I've heard that the new BBs from Trumpeter are coming along nicely, but still no exact release date.

                        a BB Texas would be nice, she's about 7 miles down the street from me and nearing comletion of her major restoration parts. It's be easy to get a reference for it! I love the look of that ship, not as sleek as a New Jersey BB but still looks mean. And being able to climb all over her is a treat. The USS Cavalla is also near me so I plan on building one of those soon.. could put them side by side...

                        Also the USS Stewart DE-238 (Edsall class) sits right beside the Cavalla, will have to see if they make a kit for her...

                        Any update on the postings above that new offerings of the North Carolina or the Hood would be out in time for my Christmas list ? I've seen offers for pre ordering the Lexington but no BB's Or did Jeff mean my 2005 Christmas list ?

                        I suppose I'm going to have to turn into a model collector! I've already got to many in the ship yard under construction and waiting for a slot.

                        Nothing new on Texas except that it's being considered. Liberty Ship arrives any day now, and look for Lexington sometime around Christmas.
