Thanks Jim!

2012 looks to be even more promising than 2011 when it comes to modern submarines!

On to the topic: although these are only CAD images, I am really disappointed to see that the Sturgeon tail keeps making it into the 688-class. Darn, even Dragon did correct theirs!

Good thing they are offering 3 in 1 combo, though it would be interesting to see how they come to terms with the VLS (and how NOT to model it for early 688's) and the pattern: hopefully they are not going with the 3+3 on each side.

In the meantime I have the other 688's coming. We shall see.
