 | | 24 Mar 2009 04:29 PM | | Does anyone know where I can get a Fiji hull? I checked the SCRAP Hulls page ( www.scrapcombatships.com/hulls.html ) for a 1/144th scale fiberglass hull and while there used to be one listed by, I believe Ralph Coles and then by Steve Hill, it does not appear to still be available. How can I get one of these? | |  Southern California Region Attack Patrol (SCRAP)

| | 26 May 2009 06:37 AM | | MCW13, Steve Hill not only has the mold but he has a hull ready to go. He will sell it for $60 CDN. If you are nterrested you can message him directly or post here and I will get in touch with him. He can sometimes be hard to contact. Sorry for the delay in posting this, I forgot about it. I have an excellent memory but the information retrieval system is faulty.

| | 30 May 2009 03:54 AM | | That sounds like a good idea. I sent him a private message on the system a month ago but I haven't received a reply yet. Let's see, 60CDN is about 55USD currently so that's a good deal! Please let me know how I can contact him directly. | | Southern California Region Attack Patrol (SCRAP)

| | 04 Nov 2009 06:54 AM | | I talked to Steve last night, he says he hasn't received any e-mails, but he is pretty sure he has a different e-mail address hooked up to this forum. He still has the hull and is wiling to part with it.
