Hey all,
Seems the model companies are getting ready for Jan 08 and the kick off of "The Forgotten Sisters" so we need to set aside some time and sign up for the newest campaign of MSW.

Isn't it amazing how much pull we have here at MSW with the manufacturers.

We're doing it for you Frank.

This maybe a little of topic, but I was planning on the Kinu with the flight deck off the front of the bridge 1930-31(forgotten sisters). Lets hope the PE set is worth it with the old molds.

Does anyone know if the new kits are re-tooled, or just have photo etched details added to the original issues?
