Yep that's the one I have.

I hope he starts producing the supersonic conversion again, I believe a contractor lost or damaged the masters so not likely, but that's the one I want.

Do you have any information on this?

One can hope that he will re-master that one now that the base kit will again be available.  I certainly hope so as I intend to combine that with the P.1134 conversion for a supersonic two-seater.

Thanks Jon. I should have checked Scalemates first. It is a 1996 mold.

Yep, a real dog's breakfast and a design that had more in common with 1920s conversions
than late-'30s aircraft carrier designs.

With all those portholes, it looks more like a liner conversion than a new-built ship.  Didn't someone bring out a kit of her sister ship?

I was thinking the same thing. A bad conversion of an old cruise ship! With that many guns was it trying to be an aircraft carrier or a cruiser?

There's talk over on ARC about a new tool SR-71 in The One TRUE Scale of 1/48...

I have the Testors boxing in the stash, but I could be persuaded to add another (I also have Caracal's 2 SR-71 decal sheets)
