So, I've unfortunately discovered that both the 1/400 USS Noa and HMS Montgomery are 4-stacker kits with modifications, and no parts to show them in their original configurations. So, in this hour of desperation, I am looking for someone that has a 1/400 USS Ward in their stash that they'd be willing to part with, for a reasonable price?

As the USS Noa comes in it's seaplane configuration, I want to configure it as a USCG Coastal patrol ASW destroyer. So If anyone has a plastic 1/350 rotating aircraft catapult, I'd appreciate it. And I will pay for it

I too have faced the catapult dilemma in 1/72, 1/700 and 1:426 scale.  In each case I scratched some up with Evergreen and Plastruct lattice/ladder/frames that come in a huge array of shapes and sizes.

Here is my scratch 1/426 USS Ashland as a P6M SeaMaster tender, note the stores loading crane which is similar to a catapult.

H, thanks for the offer, but the KGV had a catapult mounted to the deck, appreciated though. I would love to get a Supermarine Walrus though. Make it look like a PB-1B Nancy from Destroyermen.

Also, now looking for 2× twin Type 96 25mm AA, 1× 4.7/47 DP gun, both Japanese. USS Noa was a fortuitous purchase, as I can make the USS Walker in her post refit state.
