I love the look of that carrier, but I'm afraid that scale would be beyond me... Those parts would just be way too small!

Hi Graham!
I agree, mate!
Alot of what this vendor has to offer is pre-built, but if you look around the site, there are A/M kits and other like kits available!

Another good place to hunt for these goodies is ALNAVCO. Years ago I bought some kits of WW 1 warships. Kit comes in a rough metal form. A little scapping and polishing. about a dozen or so pieces. Not super detailed and definitely a lot easier than doing pe rails in 350 scale. The prebuilt painted stuff will run you in excess of $50 depending on what you want. I think I found a dealer of the plastic 1200 scale Miikits. I just won a package deal on ebay for 3 of them. Total with shipping was $10. He says he has more. If you want to try your hand at some of these and invest just some pennies for your efforts, let me know
