This little ship is screaming for the old 2 oz (56 gram) threaded capsules.
Does anyone still have a line on them?

Thanks Phil, my day is not complete until I hear that.  I have one reserved for you at the usual local discount.

I don't think that anybody else mentioned it so I will; Unfortunately, this class appears to be too early to be legal in the largest club.

All the more reason to get their membership, and show up to their battles, so you can later on propose a rule change and vote on it.

I was able to see the Henri IV this weekend at a boat display.
A very cool looking little ship.
I can't wait to see one on the water.
Well done Mark.

Mine arrived yesterday. I got home at 7:00PM, ate dinner, and Henri was assembled on the desk by 7:45. An outstanding kit, very well thought out and went together with only a flat file for a little chasing of spots here and there. Fair warning to people contemplating building Henri: It has less vertical clearance than Othar (1/2 unit DD), apart from the forward end. I think it will be a challenge to build, and if I can pull it off, it'll look awesome Even if it never sees a Nats (as the rules stand now), it'll be fun at regional battles.

The plan is a gun in each main turret, one of which will be a 75-round gun, with a full unit pump.
Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden Building: HMS KGV (Drives, pumps water, guns are in but not plumbed) MN Edgar Quinet (Hull done) Drydock/Mothballed: Rus Evstafi, DKM Lutzow, HMS Invincible Plus 20-odd other projects, according to my Boy Scouts who thoughtfully counted them for me.

That is the best way to arm a PreDread I think.
