"Where is RPT where is TF34? The World Wonders."

"In position and very busy at the moment, Sir!" :wink:

Not meant as a negative but the Yamato model is an early war version with all of her 6" guns. The waist 6.1" mounts were removed in early '44 and the 5" mounts were doubled from 12 to 24.

The nice thing about this for Yamato-class lovers is that it gives you an excuse to buy even more Yamato models (or not, because it's not a big deal).

I love the work you did. Give us a BatRep after the con, OK?
