Who do you source Davco from, couldn't find an actual Davco site :-/

That's useful to know Ian thanks.

But haven't you already got the entire USN and IJN in 1/3000th Paul  ;)

I'm investing (yes that is the right word  :) ) in some flight deck decals as I have the Navwar WW2 carriers I need.....some post WW2 ones would be useful for me 2021 "master plan"......not that the 2020 one is going particularly well so far thanks to COVID-19.

Not all of them, not even all the capital ships, only 251 including some Dutch and a few Commonwealth ;)

I should probably get the USS Robin, found out about her yesterday :)

She was captured from the Russians and was excessively buoyant, if the song is to be believed.

Still more than enough I should think  ;)

The "USS Robin" is on my wish list, albeit in postwar guise with a big bit welded on the side and a dustbin on top of the island.....

Spent a bit more time with the Italians last night doing ships boats and recoating all the foredecks as the white paint I have (Tamiya Flat White) needs several coats to get a good coverage......yes I do mix it really well first.

Also assembled laser cut bases for 8 additional Irish units for Benburb. It will be a while till they are required, but I can get the bases painted and labelled and flags printed for them.....

Meanwhile back to more late war 6mm - several complete packs of 6mm H&R panzergendiers that I got years ago to paint and most of a Russian tank corps to rebase.

Going to need some more 30 x 30 bases and some 60 x 30 ones at this rate - you try and fit a 6mm Tiger or JSII on a 30 x 30 base!!

Try with the big 10mm Pendraken tanks too!

That would be a neat trick  :)

Got too many 6mm tanks to start collecting 10mm WW2/Modern ones as well.....and too many other projects to finish  O:-)

Looking good Will....l like the flying boat on the Trento  :)

I have not made much progress on my Italians lately as l have been sorting out lots of my mothers stuff and
Reorganizing my man cave....though I did find 20 more ltalian ships to do... mainly destroyers thankfully which are pretty easy to do.

Finished the reorg so will try to make some progress shortly.
