Gunny,
Ty for the link but I was a little disappointed in there web site. I was checking out there detail stuff and none of it had the scales listed. I might call them later today and try to get some of my question answered.

The sit has been offline for quite some time now, Frank, it'll most likely be a short while before the site's back at 100%...but a phone call doesn't hurt mate!
They have great products, for sure!

Howdy Gunny,

Many thx for pointing out Yankee's website resurrection. Always liked their offerings but never had a fat enough wallet and a fat enough desire at the same time.....

But perusing their site made me think of something...there's been quite the hub-bub lately about the overly massive Dora railgun in 1/35th scale over on the armour side of the site...has anybody checked out the U.S.S. Montana Class BB that Yankee offers...for $550 sheckles!?!

On that same note, does anybody know of anybody who has built this kit and has pics to prove it?....
Actually, to be honest {and I certainly mean no offense here}, at $550.00 for the kit, plus shipping, etc........that MASSIVE Dora is looking like a better deal all the time.............

Tread.

Hey Tread!
I always enjoy your posts, mate...sheckles...yer too much!

Naw, none of my counterparts are near the monetary aire of this kit, my friend, so personally, I couldn't tell you what it's like, (but it would make one heck-of-a review specimen, wouldn't it? )
And I wouldn't mind tackling the Dora myself, as well!
Cheers,
~Gunny
