Ahoy shipmates!!

Our friends over at Model Warships.com have some nice new images of the up coming
Dragon Expo’08 exclusive USS Buchanan Tokyo Bay.

The kit features the Buchanan as she appeared while taking General Douglas MacArthur and his staff to the Missouri to accept the surrender of Japan.

Not only does it feature the ship in her new layout, but the General is also included!

For those attending IPMS Nationals these kits will be available for sale.

Those 350 figurines come out real good - especially Gen McArthur
I wonder why they made it such a limited edition??

Thanks for sharing, Jim!

Well, I do know if it wasn't for having the Relay for life that sme weekend, I would be going up.

Maybe if we can find some nice people who are going we cna have them get some extras!?!?

I do have a feeling they will have some left over.
