Difference being the Royal Oak is actually on Trumpeter's website with photos of the kit built-up, and stores are taking orders with a deliver date - something Algerie, New Mex, Baltimore, and Nelson never reached.

OK, but I am a bit sad that they do not continue their line of modern destroyers after the German and Italian ones. Providers are mainly focused on WWII, but we are missing warships of the modern era.
