I've continued to trawl through eBay for more ships to add to my growing collection of 1/1200th-scale model ships and picked up the following bargains:
A US Navy Northampton-class heavy cruiser, ...
(9.195 tons; 33 knots; 9 x 8-inch guns; 8 x 5-inch AA guns; 6 x 21-inch torpedo tubes; 4 aircraft; 2 catapults)
... a French Navy Duguay-Trouin-class light cruiser, ...
(9,350 tons; 30 knots; 8 x 6-inch guns; 4 x 3-inch AA guns; 12 x 21-inch torpedo tubes; 2 aircraft; 1 catapult)
... a US Navy Barnegat-class small seaplane tender, ...
(2,551 tons; 20 knots; 3 x 5-inch AA guns; 8 x 20mm AA guns; depth charges)
... and a Landing Ship Tank (LST) (possibly a diesel-powered LST Mk.2)
Nothing Japanese this time ... for a change!

BOB,
ReplyDeleteThe US Navy ship looks good- hope you can obtain more such US ships for the collection- 1/1200th is an ideal scale. Regards. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI am putting any more purchases on hold until after Christmas. I will then resume my buying frenzy!
All the best,
Bob
