It is called a "Sliding Padeye" and it is used for "CONREP", a form of Underway Replenishment where the vessels are physically connected by handling gear. The sliding padeyes are typically used to transfer cargo and personnel between ships. Fuel hoses are sent over via a rig that utilizes shotlines to be fired over initially, followed by an UNREP rig that is secured to the fueling station, -not- the Sliding Padeye.

The world needs a high quality model of the Space Shuttle.

You should track down a Tomytec 1/144 P-3C...very impressive.

Pretty stoked to hear that we finally have a proper NTS Cobra in 1/35!

Are these sheets still available anywhere?

Thank you!

Title says it all. I am trying to get a specific model from Canada, but I need the help of a fellow modeler in Canada who can ship it to the United States for me. Sounds strange, I know, but not all Canadians are comfortable or accustomed to shipping items to the US. If this is something you might be able to assist with, please let me know. Mike

The detail and resolution are outstanding.

Didn't they include the UH-1D rotor blades, necessitating some blade modification (or parts swapping with the Italeri UH-1N) to get the correct UH-1N blades? Regardless, they easily have the best UH-1N nose shapes of any kit in any scale thus far.

Looks exactly like the ubiquitous Panasonic Toughbooks we were issued. Nice work!

We can hope they include the correct cockpit (with Sparrowhawk HUD and all of the other B bits). It will take quite a bit to beat Tamiya, even with the need for part-swapping and aftermarket parts to get a B.

US P-3C Orions in overall gloss gull gray (VP-30, VP-26). 1/72 and 1/144. Classic white over gray would be great, too.

They got the Fenestron wrong, just like on the 1/48 kit. Wrong number of blades and it appears the diameter is off.

Beautiful build of my favorite EA-6B. You did her camouflage justice.
