Having problems with message search?
I am looking for 2 models, a 1/200 scale VIIC U-Boat, and a large scale model of the "Queen Annes Revenge" (Blackbeard the pirates ship).

Hello again,
I just put another item up on eBay.

This time it's the 1/150 Imai Susquehanna. An Internet search showed
very little availability for this kit. A German Web vendor has it for
US$258! It would appear to be rare these days. Am I right about
that? Imai apparently went under in 2002.
It's a very nice kit if one likes those hybrid steam/sail ships of the
19th century.
It represents her configuration in 1853, at the time she was Perry's
flagship on his expedition to Japan. I'm not sure what modification
would be needed to convert her to American Civil War configuration.
Susquehanna saw a lot of action in the civil war.
All the best,
Bruce Kamiat
