I'm definately down to start a 1/1250 Collection, once a bit more money rolls in. What impresses me about these most is that they are actually made in the West. That fact alone makes them attractive, since they won't be sponsoring slave labor enriching a future peer competitor of the USA. I have already listed the Neptun's I want, and when the funds come available I will be purchasing them.
Got any deals for a fellow MH member 1250Ships.
In the mean time, I did win 3 Framburg ID models, which are 1/1200 scale. They are the HMS Warspite, a Fiji Class Cruiser, and a Tribal Class Destroyer. I got gouged on shipping, the etailer charged me 7.00 per ship, for a total of 21.00 for 3 itty bitty little ships that wouldn't cost more than 7.00 to ship via usps priority mail. Still, they are great little pieces of history, and I've always wanted a model of the Warspite, my favorite British WW-2 Battleship. She'll look great with my Corgi Floatplane Stringbag.
For those who are unfamiliar with the history of Britain's greatest battleship, check out the wikipedia writeup on her.

The aerial photo of Narvik was taken by her Swordfish, which sank the first FAA U-boat kill and spotted for her when she and some British cans annhilated a German 8 Destroyer flotilla.
