Yeah, I'll agree it's a bit niche for Dakka, but there are a few of us history buffs on here who enjoy seeing this kind of historical thing and the sale price might make it more interesting for people who can squeeze a model like this in between their fantasy miniatures painting. And it's unlikely to spark the usual arguments associated with Warhammer. Hopefully no harm in trying to provide some "culture".

Of course, for those who are unfamiliar with Squadron they have a whole lot more available at their website, including the ever useful model filler "Squadron Putty" and these more wargame oriented models:

1:232, indeed! It strikes me as an odd scale too. I wonder if it has anything to do with this being based off the molds for a "classic" Revell kit?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406564/3495334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406564/3495334.page GMT Re:U.S.S.

This is news pertaining to models, so I don't think this is off topic at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406564/3497325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406564/3497325.page GMT U.S.S. Olympia, Pre-Order the 1:232 scale at 20% off

Highly likely, the old kit was probably box-scaled.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406564/3497607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406564/3497607.page GMT
