Skytrex US Navy WWII

The last post on naval miniatures was pretty popular and since I'm a bit low on painted minis to show later I think I will post the American fleet I was still owing you since the Imperial Japanese Navy post . So here goes my American Taskforce. As with the IJN I still have a fair bunch of minis on the pending list. But you can get a general idea.

Imperial Japanese Navy - Skytrex

I do paint more than chibis. Since I ended university I was fascinated by the pacific theater of WWII and the beautiful planes and legendary ships that took part on those battles.

Triceratops Transport Squad T. Rex heavy support Rex performing convoy duty. I also had some time to begin working on my IJN Yamato model from Revell. It's not a great model, but Yamato has always been my favourite battleship so I thought I'd buy one for my shelf. IJN Yamato by Revell
