Got notificatin on Thursday that my 350 Roma had shipped.   This has been #1 on my wish list for at last 7 years now.
So what is available for aftermarket so far.   Only be interested in a wooden deck if if were painted.....not likely  LOL.   PE set would be highly desireable.   i am sure Trumpeter has some PE with it, but psat experience shows it could use some additional goodies.

It arrived today  (Monday).   I am quite pleased by what I saw in my quick peak.   The PE was a little better thatn expected.   I imagine there will be a more advanced one in time.   i hope thye don't try to duplicate what has been done...catapault and funnel screens.   The only complaint was the color profie sheet was in 700 scale not the full 350.   Hope Kenny will mae a mask sheet for her.   Do the stirpes on the deck too Kenny.....please.   My skills are a triffle weak in cutting masks from scratch.
Well, she goes in the stash so ther will be ample time to get the aftermarket when it is ready

I picked up a couple at my LHS (yes, that took a big bite out of the credit card, but experience has shown that it's better to strike in the present than wait for a more opportune time), so now I have something to pair up with the upcoming Warspite and that Pola kit.
