Rui,

I'm really happy that you are interested in this!

I hadn't thought about reserves or pre-orders. I plan to have plenty to go around. I'll remember your interest.

Surely I will have all 237 models in my stash built by then, so the decks will be clear for this build.

The PE is in and so are the decals.

I'll be finishing up the instructions as I complete the build-up of the kit, taking photos of the assembly as I go.

I plan to offer an optional flooded dry dock kit. The port and starboard wing walls are each one whole piece with gantry decks as separate pieces.

Here I've waterlined one of the OKB Grigorov USS Lafayette SSBN-616 models for my own model build and display.

It's been a while. Just wondering if there are any updates on the floating drydock?

Any updates on when this will be available for purchase?

I was on board the Los Alamos from 1983-1984
