Subject: OT: 1/300 destroyers
Hi, Does anyone know of a source for 1:300 (yes, microarmor scale) WWI or WWII destroyers (yes, naval ships). Plastic kits, resin, metal doesn't matter which.

You could try Scotia - they make lotst of 1/300th scale Amphibious warfare stuff (mainly D-Day era) and they _might_ make something bigger, I don't know.

Heller makes their ship models is 1/400. I think that they have some DDs but they would be French ships. Possibly one of the Polish outfits, but those would also be around 1/400th scale and Polish. Maybe one of the old motorized Lindbergh kits if you could find them. But that would be very crude. Kent M.

They also made a US LST in 1/250 which with a bit ( OK a lot) of converting is just right for a 1/290 scale British LST of the same vintage. Also a good kit. In case you hadn't gathered, I have about as complete a collection of large amphibious warfare vessels (destroyers, LSTs etc) in 1/285 or thereabouts as I think has been produced by anyone. They're VERY difficult to get.

The best place to start is Hobby Link Japan. I don't know what shipping to Finland will be, but I've found them to be very good, and reasonably priced including shipping to the continental U.S. Their web page address is: http://www.hlj.com/

For highly detailed resin 1/350 scale destroyer models (including photo-etched brass for railings, radar masts, etc), try Pacific Front Hobbies at http://www.pacificfront.com/ or White Ensign Models at http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/avenue/xdt22/
