hello all,
in doing some research on my Gator Navy build,i found out that the USS Boxer LPH-4 was a WW2 Essex Class Carrier.in the 1960's she carried the 1st Air Calvary Huey's over to Vietnam.
so i am looking for about 30 Huey's to put on her deck or maybe some vehicles for a beach landing ie:amtracks,landing craft etc.
thanks for all your help.
cheers,
Bruce

Hi Bruce

I'm really happy to hear you're on your way home.

WEM do a set of 1/700 UH-1s, although I'm not sure what their availability Stateside will be... Having said that, with Sterling being weak at the moment, it might be worth buying direct.

I hope that helps.

Cheers

Karol
