Of course, I have a record of every customer and what parts each was looking for, to put on (if they would tell me) what builds. (Very nosy - I'm like the "MSA" - but seriously: as a result I've been able to make a bunch of you-all some helluva good customized, package-deals, as well.)

And yes, regarding the Mk68 Directors I concur (as mentioned earlier) I might could easily chisel a master - in the "close-enough" scale of exactly 1:550 - straight from one of my existing Mk37 Cold War "Boxy"-type Directors - complete with radar dish, as-is. Again, thanks for that bit of research legwork determining the exact sizes of these dishes: this definitely earns you some "discount points" on the purchase of any Mk68s which I may eventually come up with, buddy.

Speaking of discounts: meantime - actually, for the next time you may need any more TBDs, I will reward you (along with all prior purchasers of TBDs) for your earlier patronage/purchase of the initial release, with the following offer:


--> ALL PRIOR PURCHASERS of Matty's Models TBD DEVASTATORS (AC500TBD)
will be entitled to a
HALF-OFF DISCOUNT on up to an EQUAL NUMBER
of the latest- (and greatly improved-) version TBDs <--


In any case, Paul, I would of course love to post any pics of your TBDs - and your completed build(s) - here at ModelFleet (at a minimum), buddy!

Cheers,

- Matty
