Thanks!

Oh, Goodie !!! I have mine on pre-order !!!

Note this set does not provide 20mm shields, but WEM has a USN LT AA PE set that will do the rest.

Some might complain that they have to buy 2 sets, but I think many ship builders may have spares from other projects and thus no need to pay for them as part of the NC set. If not, then buying the USN LT AA set will start you on your way ...

My opinion ...

John (not of WEM)

Gold Medal MOdels and Tom's put out sets for the NC. I'ld want to see pictures of what's on all 3 different sets before I buy. Not likely I'll get the kit unless Santa brings it to me. I was lucky to get the Lex and all the stuff I need for her. I've got the backdate for her prepaid, still waiting on my backorder Dragonlate version Tiger. If things go my way financially ever the NC is first on my list for I wants !!

Oops, should have waited to respond -- mine arrived today, air mailed on the 6th -- love their service !!!!

Looks fine to me, but I'm no expert & haven't really had time to sit with the kit & the PE and do some analysis -- based on past experience, if you pick WEM, GMM, or Tom's, you'll get a good set ....
