Todd thanks for the info, this book looks like one I'll have to get the camo, mods and photo sections looks the most interesting for me.

This is a really great book from a modelling standpoint Luciano...for the detail pictures alone...better because the authors had intimate knowledge of the ship too!

You won t regret it, Todd. Got Trumpys Z-30 1942 in my stash and it looks amazing. There are good kits from Dragon and Zvezda in 1/350 out, its a good size, not too small and it
don t kill too much space.

So before i wish you happy modelling, i wish you good fishings, Todd
The Narvik destroyer on the bottom of the cover has a very nice camo scheme, not easy to make but it will looking great
This morning, i surfed a bit on the Hobby Easy shop, there is plenty of stuff available, not only in 1/350.
Cheers
