Excited about a new 1/350 Cowpens but even more that this is the first of a new series in 1/350!

The pictures are giving mixed signals. The "built model" photo is actually a Bogue class, but the individual sprues appear to be of a Casablanca class. We shall see what comes of it.

Wow, that's really exciting! Pairs nicely with the VF Des Moines. Looks like it'll come in regular and deluxe versions - no PE in the regular version. Given the lack of generic '50s era PE sets, the deluxe version will almost certainly have to be purchased.
