| | 08 Mar 2010 08:49 AM | | Didn't RiverRaider mention a 1/24 manned combat Iowa (BB-4) not too long ago? Could this be for that project? At 1/24 it would be 25 feet long. | | | I am prepared to meet my maker, whether He is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

| | 08 Mar 2010 05:04 PM | | I should have been more clear. This is clearly not an Iowa. Nevada or Pennsylvania class to be sure. | | | I am prepared to meet my maker, whether He is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
