Quote: Hello,
Bruno asked me to give some information about the forthcoming 1/700 Royal Navy cruisers. We are very close now to see the end of the project. I am casting now the first pre-production parts, some are so delicate that I had to make several trials, so the delay.
You will be amazed by the anchors for example...
Announcement of the availability of the kits will be made by Bruno on the message board.

Hi John,
Release date will slip by one week or two to early January, due to unexpected delay with the 3D prototyping phase.
I got a message from l'Arsenal two days ago: the prototyped parts finally arrived on 12/11 and mold making is now being done. Casting should follow by next week.

Sorry to press, but I've just discovered this thread (and am trying to maintain composure) and it's now late January....any more news??? : Woo Hoo :

One ship has only 4 life rafts on the starboard side and
the other ship has 9 life rafts on the starboard side.
Tells you something doesn't it.

If sales are encouraging, earlier and later versions should be made available as conversion sets, AFAIK. This will be possible as the original kit has been designed with that aim.
