I apologize in advance for all of you who don't have a Hobby Lobby near you. I was in one of the four local Hobby Lobby stores today and was surprised that they are now carrying a larger selection of larger scale ships. This one had the 1/350 Tamiya Missouri and Fletcher, as well as the 1/350 Trumpeter Lexington, North Carolina, and The Sullivans. Right now they have a 40% off coupon, and probably before Christmas will have their 50% sale. At $130 I can't really justify that Trumpeter Lexington, but at $65 or so she sure is tempting.
If you haven't checked out their ship section lately you might want to check them out now.

This is the 3rd straight week that they've run their 40% off coupon.
Great for supplies as well as kits.
50% off shadow box frames too.

That is interesting. Too bad I have all of them and I'm so blasted poor that even at half price I would have to give up food for a month.. Strongly strongly recommend any of those kits if you don't have them.
