Re: USS Tarawa
Belongs to Chris Baily.
I am led to believe it is well advanced and operational, it just doesn't get out often unfortunately.
Given the size of the model, it may be that plays a part in it's infrequent excursions as well.

Re: USS Tarawa
Plus the fact that Chris is also building BB USS Missouri, & bought half built CV64 USS Constellation from John Slater,
both 1/72, this is a lad with a lot on his plate, Tarawa being the smallest serving.
I am trying to badger him to get Tarawa up & running for this year's regatta, hopefully as a companion to Tony Firth's
Wasp cl LHD. Ooh Ahh !!!

I was saying to Graham yesterday I'd like to do a San Antonio class LPD so I have somewhere 2 park my pair of CH-53e's and a pair of MH-53j PavelowIII's !! Got 2 finish CGN-9 1st and the salvage tug and 1/10ish scale jet sprint boat......

Re: USS Tarawa
Hey Bruce, I was talking to GD about four months ago that a San Antonio class USS New York would be a nice model to have. Really like the look of her.
