Request Pictures & Info on 1/2400 Ships for P.H.

Post by IRISH »

Hello all,
I am in the process of doing a 1/2400 diorama of Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.
I prefer GHQ ships, but unfortunately I have to use some other manufactures for some of the ships. I would like to know if anyone has pictures that they can post to show the quailty of the following ships and any manufactures for ships listed:

Pictures for the following:
1/2400 Sea Battle
SB272 Chateau Thierry to represent the Argonne

1/2400 Viking Forge
3312 Avocet
3314 Vestal
3317 T Class to represent the Tautog

I need information of who might make any of the following:
DD Allen
CM Oglala
CM Baltimore
SS Narwhal
SS Dolphin
SS Cachalot
Amc Turkey
Amc Bobolink
Amc Rail
Amc Tern
Amc Grebe
Amc Vireo
Amc Cockaoo
Amc Crossbill
Amc Condor
Amc Reedbird
PG Sacramento
Avp Avocet
Avp Swan
AR Medusa
AR Rigel
ASR Widgeon
AKS Antares
AT Ontario
AT Sunnadin
AT Keosanqua
AT Navajo
AG Sumner

I am Using GHQ for all the BBs, CAs, CLs, DDs with the exception of the 1 listed, DMSs, DMs, AO Neosho, AV Curtiss and then SeaBattle for the following:
SB040 Tippecanoe to represent the Ramapo
SB087 Utah
SB197 Comfort to represent the Solace
SB209 Chilton to Represent the Pelias
SB230 Tangier
SB268 Pyro
SB269 Dobbin to represent both the Dobbin and the Whitney
SB270 Schohaire to represent the Vega

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bill ( IRISH )

Viking Forge SB045 is a reasonablly good model for DD Allen
Panzerschiffe makes several of the ships you seek in resin. The quality is somewhat less than that of SeaBattle - the general outline is accurate but no fine details or separate gun mounts, even in the large battleships and what details there are oversized.
- D-056 SS Narwhal class
- D-069 AM Bird class - covers Turkey, Boblink, Rail, Tern, Grebe, Vireo, AVP Avocet & Swan, ASR Widgeon
- D-070 ATF Navaho class - Ontario, Sunuadin, Keosauqua

Sorry, but I haven't photos of any of these.
