Jim I have a kit for the Merrimack and the Monitor made by Bluejacket. Actually they are two separate kits that I got from a Hobby store going out of business...

Chad, Are those Bluejacket kits still in production and what, exactly are they? How complex are they and how detailed? Do you need to do a lot of...

Hey Jim, I'm not sure if the Monitor & Merrimack from Lindberg are still in production but are still available from Model Expo. I think the ones from...

Rabbit, I'm a Southerner, myself, by birth. I know all about what you're saying, but that's what Lindberg called the kit, even though it wasn't right. Did you ...

Yep, in fact the head of the local SCV is getting up some guys to go to the funeral for the crew, from my area in SC it is only about 150 KM or so( about 100...

Yes, the kit is still in production. My local store has at least three in stock. There is also a new model of the monitor out. It's listed at the Military...

I was watching a show over the weekend the Monitor class remained in use until 1939, so it should be easy to find info on them to detail up a kit for others in...

Joe, Thanks, I'm going to get a friend of mine to pick it up for me while he's in the states in a couple of weeks. If he can't find the Lindberg kits, I'll put...

Joe, I may need the help. Locating things on short notice is a problem at times. That bluejacket kit sounds great, but I think they'd be too heavy to bring...

Chad, That's not as bad as I thought it might be. Tell me this, could the parts be carefully taken and packed into sealed plastic bags and the box folded up as...

Joe, That's not as bad as I thought. It sounds doable. Have you heard anything about a 1:72 kit of CSS Hunley? I heard one's out, but I don't know any more...

Jim Most of the parts already come in a plastic bag, I would want to put them inside another plastic zip lock type of bag. Just a few of the larger parts are...
