The latest Strike design is taller than the Strike Mk I from the early reports I am hearing. Too bad the local machine shop is so expensive. As I grew up in Arkansas, and I LOVE me some monitors, this ship drew my interest. Once I realized how hard it would be to hit, well... | | | Treaty:

Unfortunately they are in 1/48 and are too big for my scanner so I have given you two vastly overlapping files that can be assembled as needed they are here: BM7Fore BM7Aft Others who are more skilled and/or have time and inclination can clean up and distribute them as you will. I would just like a copy. | | | Vive la France! | |

J, I can feel the tendrils of your evil Allied machinations from here, taunting me like that and going so far as to post the frames drawings... fiendish, but it will not save you!

Othar is the guide for my 1/144 Ward. I found a paper model of a Clemson based AVP. Ready made templates for a paper superstructure.
