As usual Jim

Thank You!

The items could enhance some Landing Craft - or some dio with a section of the mother ship and a bunch of LCVP/LCM's

What a concept, modeling rope with ROPE. Maybe somebody else has done this before but you almost wonder why it hasn't been done more.

Thanks for the heads up Jim.

boy those are something. A little on the pricey side. I don't think I paid $25 for the kit. Hope they do well, they might start discounting a bit later on

I think i'll be suggesting they think about fenders for the forthcoming 80' Elco boat from Italeri... Now THAT i'm sure will be VERY useful...Jim
