...Greyhound gets turned into a Rotodyne...
I like you again now.
Heh, well I'd honestly forgotten about a COD or different aircraft until you mentioned the rotodyne, so thanks goes to you.
It bugs me why Trumpeter didn't do a compilation box set for USN modern and cold war aircraft sets for their supercarriers, Pitroad do a rebox, and Trumpeter did it for WW2 and the Russian Airgroups, as there are times you want to fill up the air wing on the carrier a bit, but not by buying 12-18 of each individual type !!!!
Have you got the early Pitroad JMSDF equipment set as that's quite handy for updating IJN ships to the 50's early 60's as a change to the 70/80's options
The Finish post war coastal battleship should be interesting.
I agree on the airwing. My original plan for the Hybrid Jean Bart was to go with Martlets and maybe some other early war craft, but it was kinda "Well, you can buy 18 of something, but that's about it" as this was before they had come out with the assortment boxes. I also may have way too many Oceanhawks for a very similar reason.
Yes, I grabbed a couple of the early JMSDF sets to finish off some 1946+ builds. I really like those 3" guns, they look amazing. Considering my plans for the Chikuma, the early set might be a better fit. I was originally going to update the superstructure with a JMSDF nose job from something like the Shirane, and then use the back as a wayward home for my small collection f 1/700 Shapeways Sea darts. Because that by definition, is awesome. Making it an early version might be even more awesome, and save me the hassle of a more comprehensive modern radar fit...Hmmm....
And I agree on the Vyborg, I've been wanting to play with one of those for years. It just kept falling between the proverbial cracks.
