Right now I wouldn't say no to a half dozen of them! Beggars can't be choosers!

Is that a goalkeeper mounting on the back? I've got the same Spruance (not the Type42 bastardised hybrid
 ) as an Airfix kit.
I always find it interesting how the US Navy makes room for additional weapons at the stern of the ship, even behind the flightdeck on the Spruance/Kidd/Tico (I believe they all use the same hull?). Oh BTW, in the proper Spruance-class units, what was the weapons fit immediately in front of the foc'sle? On my model I've got ASROC as well as Tomahawk armoured-box launchers... no idea if that's correct though! The Sea Dart is an interesting fit

Whoops... had meant to write 'superstructure', then changed to forecastle without editing the rest.

Is there no where to stick a second 909? You've only got one fire control channel, there.
The aim of diplomacy is to achieve results, not win arguments

MSR,
I only have one 909 right now. I should be able to get one soon. I need to build a deck house for it for on top of the hanger so that it won't be masked by the second funnel. I have designed it to be the same height as the air intakes next to it. |
