By chance, do you have a PE set in development for IJN Mikuma?


We are considering about it. After having Suzuya and Kumano, why not Mikuma......


This is absolutely excellent news. Thank you.

Hello,

i have a question concerning your Shinano Flight Deck Upgrade Set (FS710025DE).
Will there be photoetch replacements for all gun platforms around the flight deck?
Or are just the platforms included that can be seen on the box art?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany,
Jan Schulz, SIG-Waterline :wave_1:


Hi

As it is showing, this set just includes the PE flight deck and some accessories.

We will release the upgrade set for platforms and bridge at May~June. You can see the details from the following pictures.

Another shameless suggestion:

I would very much welcome a set of IJN tug boats and harbour utility craft. A bit like the old waterline series 'Japanese Tugger set', but much more detailed in resin and PE.
It would fit very well in your diorama-oriented range, and I would guess it can be a good seller.

Cheers,

Marijn


Thank you very much for your advice. We will consider about this topic.

Thank you for your reply Mr. Xudong,

well if you're able to create a patroal boat upgrade than please do. I know that you need more than one customer to make it commercial interesting for you. I''ll hope you see oppurtunities. Yes I like small vessels. This river gunboat is certainly a nice surprise. Looks like an Atami class river gunboat. Congratulations, my first impression is that you made a good product and I'm looking forward to your next (surprise) items.

Berend


Yes! It's a Atami class gunboat.

Question about the Saratoga. I don't see it in the picture but does the set include the railing around the 5in gun turrets and along the starboard side of the deck next to the bridge and stack structures? I'm looking forward to this one!

Love the little gun boat!

Dave


Yes! Railings are included.

Dear Mr. Xudong,
Could you please clarify what plastic model your such a great surprise is built for? Also do you have an idea when those new items become avaliable?

Hello Mr. Xudong,

your first class transport ship pe is looking fine as is your momi class upgrade for the Kuri. Are you going to release a momi class patroal boat upgrade version too?

Berend.


Hi Berend,

Very happy to see that you like them. I am considering momi class patrol boat now if you want it. If you like small vessels, this is a surprise for you!
