Gents,
I'm looking for this kit:
http://www.modellmarine.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1039%3Apevell-zerstoerer-uss-kidd-dd661-172&catid=261%3Aapril-april&Itemid=1
I'm coming up blank everywhere as no supplier I've been able to find has even heard of "Pevel". It obviouisly exists though so any help pointing me in the right direction will be greatly, and I do mean greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
Pat Brown

I'm afraid you've fallen for an Aprils fools joke.

Say it aint so!!!! I translated the page and the final entry is "- Es ist zu schön, um wahr zu sein." which means, "Too good to be true." I'm laughing but grinding my teeth at the same time. I sure took that one hook line and sinker. I'm consoled a little bit by the fact that the folks at Great Models and two local hobby shops were completely bamboozled too. Who'd have thought Germans could have such a sense of humor?
Ok, so where does that leave us? Can anyone recommend a good Fletcher kit in 1/96 scale? I've heard good things about the Dean's Marine USS Kidd. What I really want is a large scale round bridge Fletcher though. Any ideas?
