Just trying to have some fun with the forum…
Here are two new packs of micro armor that I just received in the mail. Straight out of the package, can you identify them?
I’ll post pictures of the assembled and poorly painted models in the Show us yer stuff thread.
Who has pics of their new micro armor straight out of the package?

I found them in the catalog as I'm not familiar enough with American systems. I won't put answers here but will wait for those who know off the top of their heads to say without having to resort to looking them up in the catalog like I did.

Redleg,
Another trivia question or would you like others to post, too?

I've been falling behind in my painting so I haven't busted any new packs open lately. But yes, please post more pics everyone. It's fun to see them straight out of the pack and then guess what they are!

I just cracked two new packs open tonight, but I'm afraid that they're not too hard to identify.

Roosevelt, Iowa, and Wasp are correct, but the amphibious ship is not a New York class vessel.
You're right that they are for the ROD Navy! The are in the midst of an aggressive ship building program!
