Good luck on your hunt! I was a visitor to Norway for the first time in 2004, but did not make it much north of Geiranger. We definitely plan a return to your beautiful country - I'd like to go clear up to Nordkapp on one of the coastal ships to experience it all - including Narvik, Tromso, Alta, et...

Years ago, I was a fairly serious modeler of the Luftwaffe. There are a vast number of swastica decals for Luftwaffe model aircraft - including several that are about the right size for your need. One decal manufacturer I could suggest is MicroScale (US), but there are many others. Check some of the...

_Derfflinger_: - She hosted a Cher concert that received a lot of publicity That´s the most important event that ever took place on board this or any battleship! As I wrote a year ago: Cher outweights McArthur receiving the Japanese surrender any time... Karl - Ha! :lol: I agree - Cher was a bit mo...

I would agree that the USS Missouri, BB63, is probably the most famous USN battleship - not so much for her service action history, but for the following reasons: - She is an Iowa class BB - She was the most publicized Iowa class BB when new as she was named for the home state of then President Harr...

Ulrich - Terrific! Thanks. You should do models of Insignia and Nautica to go along with the Regatta! Hint - they are identical, except for the names on the hull at the bow and stern, the fish sculptures above the pool, the names of the lounges, and the art hanging on the walls. Great ships. Very en...
Wow! Impressive, and quite a feat of maritime engineering. However, I would think this ship will be about as successful in its mission as Yamato was on hers. As a confirmed cruise ship addict, I have no desire at all to be on something this massive and crowded. Many of the world's really neat cruise...

Zerstorers
The Kriegsmarine destroyer fleet had only limited success in WW-2. They suffered from lack of numbers, bad seakeeping qualities, unreliable machinery, and poor leadership at times. On paper, though, they were impressive ships. Anybody have any opinions about how successful they might have been had t...
