My local shop had a 25% off sale...sO I went and got the following:

For $69 I expect at least no typoes.

On the plus side, I did get a free base:

and Soviet Air power!

This thing's huge, and well packed. My OHP in 1:700 is atop it.

Is that the AFV Club Knox, and if so, how is it? I've got one on my to-do pile, and the only other AFV kit I've done is their M88.

MKSheppard, the new issue of Fine Scale Modeler (December issue, the one with the white KV-I on the cover) has a review of Trumpeter's new 1/700 Nimitz. It also has a sea base like your Russian carrier there. The reviewer gave the kit pretty good marks.

I think Trumpeter also sells separate aircraft packs for its carrier kits so you can add more planes on the deck.

So, I guess all your base are belong to you.

That's what you get for free-basing.

OK, sorry. (slinks back under rock).
