R/C Naval Combat

[:)]I spoke to Ralph today and I paid for my Graf Spee hull online to Ralph. The fastest easiest transaction. Ralph uses PayPal now and it works great online.

He is shipping with my order the hull and main turrets, a PE turret, and my KGV MAIN and Secondary Turrets. I can't wait to receive it.

I am building the Graf Spee under the COMBAT-X RULE Format Graf Spee FLD IS 16,200t. This puts this ship in the >=14,000t - <=20,000 Full Load nonmetric displacement value. This model will be allowed to carry 4.5 units with the ability to carry one of those units as a torp, and subdivide it's half unit into a 1/2 unit pump or a full 50 unit cannon.

I hope to incorporate this into my Graf Spee for next year.

[:)][:)]

Good to hear Curt, it is a great hull.

Yes... it is Graf Spee.

it's great.

More AXIS propoganda!

I guess that is a good thing though...............

Yahoo! A long skinny box arrived just as I was leaving the house. I think it's the Graf Spee. I will open the box after work tonight. Yippee. I can't wait to see it! Looks like the KGV main and secondaries and... a VU turret.
I think I will start the PRINCE OF WALES. I need an Allie ship to counter Bismarck. lol

Ha Ha Ha Curt there you go, it is a great hull.

Ahhhhh finally I opened the box and VIOLA! GRAF SPEE emerges. Here are some pics of this magnificent hull by RALPH COLES. Bravo Ralph..BRAVO!!!

Now I got to resize my plans from 1/200 to 1/144 to start this model.

Curt I have a set of 144 plans for Graf Spee maybe we could do a deal a copy of my plans for a copy of your plans.

Depends on your plans Chris. Do you have pics of them? I will post pics of mine for you.

I have the plans that Ralph used to build the hull mold.

Get a pic so I can see them. They may be already what I have.

That is awesome. Is that a one piece hull or did that glue the halves.

It's a one piece hull.

any update curt..... :)
