150 is for Comic Book Flat Civil War Soldiers

These have been Blogged elsewhere, so really just a box-ticker, I've said before, that "It will all appear here eventually", and from time to time that means covering stuff covered elsewhere, today it's some 'comic book flats'.

Meanwhile you can send no less than three USS Monitor-class 'iron-clads' into maritime action against the same number of CSS Merrimac's! They should be  CSS Virginia's - the original built on the USS Merrimack (with a 'k'), comics huh? Like the Daily Mail but with better pictures!

The opposition come in an electric blue polymer and apart from the three different vessels are the same mouldings in the same numbers.
