Personally, the 1/350 CVL-22 is quite exciting to me, and this one will definitely make it into my stash...I had alot of fun with DML's 1/700 version of the Independence, and her big sister should be twice the fun! (get ready Gator! ) From the early previews, looks like a promising build, can't wait to see as more news unfolds until release...again, it is a good time to be a ship modeler, with 2010 looking to be as exciting as 2009 was! Cheers, ~Gunny

I'm interested in seeing the Independence also. For two reasons. One I'm beginning to like building carriers, being a bout 2/3 trough my Hornet. Two, this gives DML a nice Cleveland class cruiser hull. Maybe they will use is for something else, like a Cleveland class cruiser?

This is great news for the 1/350 guys, and eventually for the 1/700 guys as well. It will be great to see an accurate Zerstorer DD down the road. Bob pink.
