Radar, the miracle invention that gave the US a much needed edge during the second world war. It was used for tracking and targeting surface ships and aircraft.

This latest release from Navalis a newcomer to the photo etch market, gives the neglected 1/1200-1/1250 modelers some much needed super detailing possibilities. Even though this is 1/1250 scale, this set is as fine as some larger 1/700 sets on the market.

Though many will think you are insane for trying to detail ships in this scale, at least now you have that option.

According to Sami Arim of Navalis a Royal Navy set will be released soon. Click the logo on the right to visit the Navalis website. |
