Hi Roberto, Thanks so much for your compliments! Very glad to read that you are very happy with your new Saratoga CV-3 products! Regarding our 1971 Independence island being a good match for 1976, we don't know enough about her 1976 appearance to answer your question with any certainty. You might consider asking if any island features changed much from 1971 to 1976 on the Calling All Forrestal-class and Kitty Hawk-class Fans thread. Some experts there are likely to know. Link: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=4708&p=1022004#p1022004Regarding ventilators for Mauretania, I regret to say that there are no plans to research and design Mauretania conversion parts for the 1/350 scale Lusitania kit. Thanks again and very kind regards!

Just received the 1/350 Saratoga boat pockets with 40mm tubs and the 1943/44 island, simply fantastic. Would the 1971 Independence Island work for a 1976, fit? Also, working on a WWI Lusitania to Mauretania conversion and would need the ice cream scoop ventilators rather than the mushroom style, can they be done?
Thank you.

Royal Navy Town-class cruiser fans! Happy to announce funnels for HMS Belfast and HMS Edinburgh in 1/350 scale, 1/600 scale, and 1/700 scale are now available.There has been much discussion regarding the size of the real ship's funnels among modelers. Compared to the ship's aft funnel, measurements of the real funnels confirm that the forward funnel is slightly shorter front-to-rear and slightly wider side-to-side. Most Belfast model kit's funnels are inaccurately shaped and poorly detailed. For example, in 1/350 scale, The Trumpeter Belfast kit's forward funnel is significantly smaller than the aft funnel. The real difference is not as great. The Model Monkey funnels' size was based on: - measurements taken of the real funnels. - official Admiralty General Arrangement Profile “as fitted” series MCD AIO979 plans for HMS Belfast dated 16 November 1942 - official 1936 Admiralty "10,000 ton Cruisers, 1936 Programme" drawing for HMS Belfast and HMS Edinburgh. Features:- accurate teardrop shape, designed from measurements taken of the real ship's funnels. - accurate height, scaled from scans of official Admiralty General Arrangement Profile “as fitted” series MCD AIO979 plans for HMS Belfast dated 16 November 1942. - accurate rivet count, placement and configuration, unique to each funnel. - accurate door shape, position and detailing. The door on the forward funnel is on the starboard side, the door on the aft funnel is on the port side. - accurate painters' sheave brackets, reinforcing strap and cleat plate detail, unique to each funnel. The design of this pair of models benefited from research assistance and advice graciously provided by Mr. Conrad Waters, Mr. Richard Dennis and Mr. Michael Eisenstadt. We also offer an attractive nameplate for HMS Belfast, HMS Edinburgh, and all 8 of their sisterships, in your choice of real metal or inexpensive, paintable acrylic plastic. See these models and many more at https://www.model-monkey.com/Have fun. Monkey around.™ [edit: added HMS Edinburgh nameplate]

Re: Model Monkey Catalog |

Thanks so much, Martin!
And thanks to Frank for sending photos of the Tamiya 1/700 scale Saratoga kit's hull parts!
The way Tamiya chose to design the bay openings of their otherwise excellent 1/700 scale kit is a bit of an unpleasant surprise. The Tamiya kit's hull includes some of the same features that we include with our bays, such as splinter shielding and the outer wall of clipping rooms, etc., and a lip on the inside of the hull that may complicate fit. Since the Tamiya hull and our bays both include some of the same features and have a problematic lip, it would seem that rescaling our existing 3D-printed 1/350 Bofors bays will not produce a set of bays that will fit the Tamiya kit. To use our rescaled bays with a Tamiya kit, the modeler would have to cut away significant features of Tamiya kit's hull, a task most customers would reject. The model ship market generally prefers drop-fit replacements requiring no hull cutting. This means that a new 3D Bofors bay design would be required specifically to fit the Tamiya kit. Since the design queue is full for the foreseeable future, I'm going to pass on a new 1/700 scale Tamiya kit-specific design project for now in favor of other projects with better sales potential. I am not saying no to 1/700 scale Bofors bays for the Tamiya kit, just not now.
Very sorry for any disappointment.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply and consideration for 1/700. I took out the Tamiya and measured the cutouts with my digital calipers. Each one is 0.2 inch; however, the bottom of each is not a straight line like the Trumpeter kit nor are they uniform in shape like the Trumpeter kit. The one pocket on the Starboard side is close to uniform like the Trumpeter and the 4 on the Port side are all different from each other. If you like I can take some photos and email them to you or post them on your Facebook page.

I hope to be able to offer the set in 1/700 scale, too. That will take some doing but if successful, I'll announce it here and on Facebook. Initial 1/700 scale test prints have not been successful; the flight deck supporting girders become too fragile in 1/700 scale to print properly, so much work needs to be done to try to make the models printable in 1/700. Assuming that redesign work will be successful, please help with a measurement to make sure the new bays will fit a 1/700 scale Tamiya kit as intended. I have a 1/700 scale Fujimi Saratoga model in hand but not the Tamiya kit. If you have a Tamiya kit and access to a digital caliper, please measure the distance from the bottom of the kit's bay parts to the top of the hull part where the flight deck parts rest, as shown in the photo below. Unlike the Trumpeter Lexington-class kits' boat pockets, the 3D-printed bays do not have an overhead because on the real ship the bottom of the flight deck is the bays' overhead. That's why you see exposed transverse girders that jut out into space on the 3D-printed models. Those girders are intended to support the flight deck. Not having an overhead also helps make the bay parts much easier to paint. Cheers!

In addition to the USS Saratoga CV-3 Bofors Bays shown above, we've also released a Bristol Beaufighter late-war maritime strike fighter/day fighter Observer's Station in 1/32 scale, intended for the classic Revell kit.
This new station model joins two previously-released Beaufighter station models (an early-way and a mid-war radar operator station, both for night fighters), two different cockpits (early-war and late-war), dihedral tailplanes, thimble radome, and a torpedo.

USS Saratoga CV-3 fans! Happy to announce a set of 5 Bofors bays is now available in 1/350 scale to help convert your Trumpeter USS Saratoga CV-3 kit to Sara's 1944-1946 late-war appearance.
The two Lexington-class aircraft carriers, USS Lexington CV-2 and sistership USS Saratoga CV-3 were originally fit with recesses on the upper hull sides used to store five of the ships' very large utility boats, a few of which were 50 feet long. The recesses to stow these large boats were called "boat pockets". There were four boat pockets on the port side and one boat pocket on the starboard side, aft.
In December, 1943, USS Saratoga CV-3 reported to Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, California, for a major, month-long, mid-war refit. As part of the refit, her boat pockets were extensively modified becoming anti-aircraft weapons stations for 40 mm quadruple Bofors cannon mounts. Ammunition clipping rooms were built within the pockets and shielded sponsons were constructed extending outward from the hull. This set of 5 models captures the pockets as they were reconfigured as weapons stations.
A set of highly detailed pre-war boat pockets for Lexington and Saratoga are presently in design. That set will depict the pockets' original configuration as boat-stowage stations.
A late-war island, funnel, 5"/38 cal. twin-gun mounts (turrets), rudder, and nameplates for both Lexington-class ships are also available.

Yamato fans! Happy to announce an accurately shaped and highly detailed primary rudder for models of Imperial Japanese Navy battleships Yamato and Musashi, and aircraft carrier Shinano, is now available in 1/350 scale and 1/200 scale.
The model's overall shape and dimensions match scaled drawings published in the 2017 edition of "Anatomy of the Ship: Battleships Yamato and Musashi" by Janusz Skulski and Stefan Draminski. The shell plating and screwhead pattern detail are consistent with Janusz Skulski's line drawings and the real Musashi rudder as it appears in modern video and photos of the wreck published by Paul G. Allen in 2015.
The model is accurately sized and shaped with extensive screwhead detailing.
Nameplates for Yamato, Musashi and Shinano are also available, 3D-printed in your choice of real metal or inexpensive, paintable acrylic.
