QUEEN ELIZABETH CLASS BATTLESHIPS: Shipcraft 15

This volume covers the five ships of the highly successful Queen Elizabeth class, a design of fast battleship that set the benchmark for the last generation of dreadnoughts. Although they fought with distinction in WW1, all were thought valuable enough to be modernised between the wars - indeed, three were massively reconstructed, providing the modelmaker with a challenging variety of possible subjects.

HIPPER CLASS CRUISERS: Shipcraft 16

The subject of this volume is the largest and most sophisticated German cruiser class of WW2. The five ships suffered very different fates. Blucher was sunk during the invasion of Norway in 1940, whereas Admiral Hipper fought right through the war. The most famous, Prinz Eugen, escaped when Bismarck was sunk and survived to be expended in a postwar Atomic bomb test. Seydlitz was intended to be converted to an aircraft carrier, but never finished, while Lutzow was sold to Russia and sunk by her erstwhile owners.

SS5606.jpg - 0 Bytes  

Description: The largest naval vessels in the world are the Nimitz-class super aircraft carriers. The Nimitz (CVN-68) launched the class when it was commissioned on 3 May 1975 and it has been followed by another 9 vessels. Each is more than 1,000 feet long, and displaces 103,000 tons at full load. Carriers are vital to the projection of US power around the globe: USS Nimitz responded to the Iran hostage crisis in the late 1970s, launched raids on Libya in the early 1980s and challenged China's growing navy in the Taiwan Straits in 1996. USS Dwight D. Eisenhower was the first US warship to respond to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. USS Carl Vinson was the first to launch air attacks as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. In the mid-1990s USS Theodore Roosevelt supported NATO air strikes against Bosnian Serbs during fighting in former Yugoslavia. USS Abraham Lincoln backed up Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in the early 2000s. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs, plus color profiles and detailed line drawings. Goodall; 80 pages. Order number # SS5606 Price $19.00

New Orleans Class (CA32) Cruisers: Shipcraft 13

The subject of this volume is the seven-ship New Orleans class, probably the US Navy’s most hard-fought heavy cruisers of the War – three were sunk in action but others survived massive damage, and by 1945 three out of four of the navy’s most decorated ships were of this class. Although designed within treaty limitations, they proved powerful and well-balanced ships, and their unparalleled fighting record makes them popular modelling subjects. Order # CWSC-13  $23.95

YAMATO CLASS BATTLESHIPS: Shipcraft 14

The Yamato class battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy were the largest warships of the Second World War and the largest battleships ever constructed, displacing 78,800 tonnes. They also carried the largest naval artillery ever fitted to a warship - 18in guns. Neither Yamato nor her sistership Musashi made much impact on the War. Musashi was sunk during the battle of Leyte Gulf while Yamato, deployed in a deliberate suicide attack on Allied forces at the battle of Okinawa, was finally sunk by US carrier-based aircraft; Not 300 of her 3,330 crew survived.

New GOLD MEDAL MODELS Brass etch sets

LP350-47UDALOY GMM's new Udaloy set is designed to be exceptionally user-friendly, especially concerning the design and assembly of the extremely complex Russian radars and mast platform assemblies. A minimal parts count combined with a reduced need to glue parts together and GMM's unique "tab-and-slot" construction results in a beautifully detailed collection of fittings that most modelers will be able to handle. Our careful usage of actual Russian drawings of the Udaloy and her sisterships and close-up photos of Russian naval radars and other items makes this the most technically accurate PE detail set ever released for this class of ship.

The set supplies highly accurate replicas of all air search, surface search, and fire control radars carried by various ships of this class including the Top Plate, Strut Pair, Cross Sword, and Palm Frond radars. Also included are assorted ECM and direction finding antennas.

Additional items provided include deployed and folded helicopter rotors for two Kamov helicopters, details for the ship's boats, correctly configured helicopter landing pad nets & deck edge safety nets for both Udaloy and Admiral Pantaleyev kits, replacement platforms, support girders, topmasts, & related details for both masts, replacement antenna towers, flag- and jack-staffs, rigging & hooks for the ship's crane, accommodation ladders, vertical & inclined ladders, bridge windshield wipers, detailed vent grilles for bulkheads, and dedicated Russian-design railing complete with accurate turnbuckle detailing where required.

This set will allow a modeler to configure the Trumpeter kit into any version of the Russian Udaloy-class guided missile destroyers. It also features extensive 3-D relief etching in .005" brass for extra detail as well as extra fine railings and antennas.

$45.00
LP350-48IJN EXTRA RAILINGS 6,000 scale feet, or approximately 205 linear inches, of World War Two Imperial Japanese Navy warship style railing including "drooped chain" styles and solid pipe rails.

Pre-curved bow chain rails: two sections, each 9.125 inches long.

Style 1 - main deck chain rails: nine (9) sections, each 9.375 inches long.

Style 2 - upper deck chain rails: seven (7) sections, each 9.375 inches long.

Style 3 - upper deck two-bar pipe rails: three (3) sections, each 9.375 inches long.

Simulated canvas-covered pipe rails for upper decks: two sections for a total of 11.375 inches.

Simulated chain rails feature individual link detailing. Simulated canvas-covered rails feature relief-etched "canvas" with see-through lacing holes.

Illustrated instructions are included.

Doyle.    ELCO 80-Foot PT Boat on Deck Color Series. Say ""PT Boat"" and the image that comes to mind is that of the 80-foot patrol torpedo boat built by the Electric Launch Company (ELCO) in Bayonne, New Jersey. These nimble warships - which by the end of WWII could deliver the same firepower as early-war destroyers had done. A trio of Packard marine engines, delivering 1200 to 1500 horsepower each, gave the PT Boats speeds of 40 knots. Three hundred twenty-six of the 80-foot wooden wonders were built, with 296 of them seeing service in the US Navy; the remainder went to the USSR under Lend-Lease. The PT-565 class boats were the final and hardest hitting ELCO 80 - PT-617, the boat featured in the book, is the sole surviving intact example. Packed with over 200 photographs, plus color art and profiles; 80 pages."

US Navy Ships Camouflage WWII, Part 1

Destroyers and Destroyer Escorts (SC)

Since the formation of the Continental Navy in 1775, US Navy ships have donned numerous colors. During WWI, when the German U-boat threatened to stop US and Canadian supplies from reaching their European allies, the British Royal Navy began using a splinter-type camouflage to confuse the enemy about the speed, distance, and the course of its ships. The US also adopted similar camouflage during this timeframe. When the Bureau of Construction and Repairs began issuing instructions for different camouflage schemes and colors, the Navy took note, and by WWII, USN destroyers sported several different camouflage schemes that ranged from blue to gray to black and included painted bow waves and multiple dazzle schemes. When WWII ended in 1945, the fleet was restored to Standard Navy Gray to await the next revolution in deceptive paintwork. Illustrated with 116 b/w photos, 2 color photos, and over 30 color renderings/profiles. 68 pages.

Essex Class Carriers: Shipcraft 12

 

The latest volume covers the hugely important American carrier of the Second World War. Built in larger numbers than any fleet carrier before or since, the Essex class can claim to be the US Navy's most significant weapon in the defeat of Japan. Carrying up to 100 aircraft and capable of absorbing enormous punishment (not one was sunk), they spearheaded the Fast Carrier Task Forces for most of the Pacific War. 
 
The heavily illustrated work contains everything a model builder needs to know about this prolific class. Order # SC-12  $21.95

Decal 05 1/350 USN Port Holes

Our resin cast porthole decals are just that.  Using a revolutionary new process that allows casting resin on decal film, allows the average modeler to make perfect portholes every time by applying them just like decals.  Just fill in the inaccurate "holes" the model companies make, then apply the new portholes.  The resin cast line work provide .005 raised relief to make them stand out just like raised details on the model.  They can be further enhanced by adding a wash and dry-brush technique.  Instructions for application included. The sheet includes 108 24" portholes and 114 12" portholes.

USS Pampanito Color On Deck

SS5604.jpg - 0 Bytes

The USS Pampanito, a Balao-class fleet submarine, was commissioned in late 1943 and went into action in the Pacific at the height of WWII. During her patrols from early 1944 through mid-1945, Pampanito prowled the sea lanes of the western Pacific, decimating the convoys that were the life blood of Japan’s far-flung maritime empire. By the time she was ordered back to Pearl Harbor for overhaul in the summer of 1945, Pampanito had sent 5 Japanese ships - 27,332 tons to the bottom. But Pampanito’s proudest day was 15 September 1944 when she rescued a total of 73 British and Australian prisoners of war who had survived the sinking of a convoy taking them to Japan as slave labor. Today, Pampanito is a floating museum permanently docked at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Illustrated with 265 highly detailed photographs, color profiles, and intricate line drawings. Stern; 80 pages.

Mainstay of the Atlantic battle against the U-boats, Flower class corvettes were used by the British, Canadian, French and US Navies. Order # CWSC3  Price: $45.95

DECALS from FLAGSHIP MODELS

Flagship Models Decal 03

Decal 03 Resin Cast Rivets

This is a new product that makes GREAT looking rivets EASY.  This new process is literally resin cast rivets with raised relief on on a sold sheet of clear decal film, so they apply just as you would decals. I used the rivets on my new USS Keokuk and the raised relief shows up GREAT.  I was so impressed, I decided to stock them.  These details are perfect for adding detail to hulls or replacing sanded off rivets on ships, armor, and AC models.
There are three different sizes.008, .011, .014 diameter ).  A total of almost 100 linear inches of rivets with three different spacings (pitch) on each 4.5" x 2.75" sheet.  You may apply them in strips for perfect, pre-spaced rivets, in groups, or one at a time.

Order # FM-DECAL-03 $15.50



Flagship Models Decal 04

Decal 04 Resin Cast Perfect Weld Seams

This is a new product that makes GREAT looking welded seams just like on real ships EASY.  This new process is literally resin cast seams in the pattern of welds with raised relief on a clear sheet of decal film, so they apply just as you would decals. I used them on my own ship models and the raised relief shows up GREAT.  I was so impressed, I decided to stock them.  These details are perfect for adding detail to hulls or replacing sanded off details on ships, armor, and AC models.   It's difficult to see in the photo, but the seams are made up of chevron style welds with raised relief that when applied under the model paint, look stunningly real.  There are three different sizes of seams on each 4.5" x 2.75" sheet.

Flagship Models Decal 05

Decal 05 1/350 USN Port Holes

Our resin cast porthole decals are just that.  Using a revolutionary new process that allows casting resin on decal film, allows the average modeler to make perfect portholes every time by applying them just like decals.  Just fill in the inaccurate "holes" the model companies make, then apply the new portholes.  The resin cast line work provide .005 raised relief to make them stand out just like raised details on the model.  They can be further enhanced by adding a wash and dry-brush technique.  Instructions for application included. The sheet includes 108 24" portholes and 114 12" portholes.

USS TENNESSEE in World War II by Signal/Squadron

By Clifton Simmons. The USS Tennessee (BB-43) was commissioned on 3 June 1920 and is one of the most under-celebrated battleships in the history of the U.S. Navy. She was at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, and she was a participant in the last battleship vs. battleship battle in naval history - the Battle of Surigao Strait, 24-25 October 1944. She survived World War II and went on to serve her country until she was decommissioned on 14 February 1947. Illustrated with more than 200 photographs and detailed drawings, this book tells the story of the great battleship through interviews with the veterans who fought her. 80pages. order # SS6094 price $16.95

From Signal/Squadron USS YORKTOWN Class Carriers

Yorktown-Class Aircraft Carriers In Action. One of the main reasons for the defeat of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Pacific was the three ships of this class - USS Enterprise (CV 6); USS Hornet (CV 8), lost 27 October 1942; and USS Yorktown (CV 5), lost 7 June 1942. They were there at the right time with the resources so desperately needed. Skillfully details the development and operational history of the three Yorktown-class carriers. Approximately 100 photographs, line drawings, and color profiles; 52 pages. Order Number SS4030 Price $12.95

US Nuclear Subs in Action. The submarine service has long been called the 'silent service,' not because of its crews’ reticence concerning their jobs and their 'home,' but because today’s US Navy submarines are so very quiet and virtually undetectable. Beginning with the discoveries of the German Type XXI Undersea Boat (U-Boat), the author traces the development of U.S. nuclear attack subs from their infancy through the Virginia class, whose namesake was commissioned in 2004. More than 100 photographs, 8 color profiles and line drawings; 50 pages. Order No.# SS4029. $13.95

ON DECK#3 - USS OHIO CLASS SUBMARINE

Ohio Class SSBN on Deck. Since its inception in 1960, strategic deterrence has been the sole mission of the fleet ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), which provides the nation's most survivable and enduring nuclear strike capability. The eighteen submarines of the Ohio class replaced aging fleet ballistic missile submarines built in the 1960s and are far more capable. Carrying twenty-four Trident missiles each, the Ohios carry fifty percent of all US strategic deterrent nuclear warheads and provide the sea-based 'leg' of the US strategic deterrent triad. An unprecedented bow-to-stern look at this critical US weapon system with more than 200 color and b/w photos, line drawings and 8 color profiles; 80 pages. Order No. #SS5603 Price $14.95

U.S. Navy Floatplanes in Action WWII
By Al Adcock.


Before the advent of radar and other electronic devices aboard naval vessels, the duties of searching for enemy fleets and the spotting of naval gunfire fell upon the floatplane scouts. These small one- and two-place catapult-launched aircraft - the Curtis SOC Seagull, Vought OS2U Kingfisher, Curtiss SO3C Seamew, and Curtiss SC Seahawk - were the 'eyes of the fleet' during World War II, and some continued to serve until as late as 1949. More than ninety photos, ten color profiles, black-and-white line drawings, color covers.

Gato-Class Submarines in Action


American submarines were a decisive element in winning WWII in the Pacific, accounting for more than half of the nearly 10 million tons of Japanese naval and merchant shipping lost during the war, while also carrying out such other important duties as pilot rescue, reconnaissance and espionage. The burden of the submarine war from 1942 until victory in 1945 was borne by the US Navy's Gato-class submarines (including Balao and Tench variants). Many of these subs continued to serve after receiving postwar refits in the US and foreign navies.
