Hi Gunny,

Nice idea. Are you able to use stuff from IWM or is their a copywright issue there?

Cheers and keep up the good work.

Cool! She carries Hovercraft and Harriers. Lovely ship!

A force to be reckoned with. Fast and and can attack virtually anywhere.. Coastwise anyway!




Lovely pic.

I agree, mate, and one of my all time favorites, in real life and the model subject, for sure. . .The amphibious assault ship is an extremely versatile vessel, both for the Navy and the Marines.
Thanks for the positives!

Ok Gunny, I'll bite. Australia's Collins-class submarine, HMAS Rankin SSK 78 cruises out to sea at periscope depth, and is scheduled to participate in exercise Rim of the Pacific RIMPAC 2004.
