Title: Midway Carriers 2023
Post by: pierre the shy on 15 September 2023, 07:55:27 PM
A just released Youtube video from a current expedition to survey in detail the wrecks of some of the ships involved in the Battle of Midway in June 1942 using ROV's (Remotely Operated Vehicles).

Shows footage of IJN Akagi, Kaga and USS Yorktown.....Quite a atmospheric watch with the comments of the ROV operaters on the Nautilius and background music.

Are they GHQ models with FlightDeck2400 decals for the deck markings?

What scale are the ships?
Yorktown looks to be in Measure 33 so 1944

Those are excellent, having hand painted them once (badly), they really look amazing.

They look the business!

And, M le Shy, the video is very interesting - but not helping my lead addiction.[/size]
