I have not communicated with them recently, therefore I do not know.

Best regards, Lars i have emailed Fleetnet but they didnt respond- are they still in business?

Are there still no 1/700 kit of South Korean ships?
There is now also the BigBlueBoy kit of Singapure's Formidable class, but the South Korean navy appears to be still ignored - but has very impressive ships!

Are those old Kobo-Hiryu kits even still available anymore? Pacific Front used to carry them years ago, but I've not seen them anywhere else since then. They had some South Korean kits as well if I remember. An Ulsan class frigate and a Pohang class corvette.

[url=http://fleetnet.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=7728]Thai patrol ship Pattani[/url]
[url=http://fleetnet.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=4655]Thai patrol boat Thayanchon[/url]
[url=http://fleetnet.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=4654]Thai frigate Kraburi[/url]
[url=http://fleetnet.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=4622]Thai frigate Naresuan[/url]
[url=http://fleetnet.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=4620]Indian frigate Godavari[/url]

Ask the owner of fleetnet, if he can get the kits. Unfortunately there is no PE for them.

Hello,
It IS a great shame that the modelling companies are ignoring Asia. Some fascinating designs are coming out from not only South Korea, but India, Malaysia and Singapore as well. Other than the Orange Hobby Dokdo and the obscure KDX-1 the vanished from view almost as soon as I saw it, modern Asian Sea Power in the modelling world is a Japan/China affair. Here is one modeler who would love to see some other countries.

Kobo-Hiryu, a small garage company, produced a resin 1/700 Ulsan and Po Hang class. You would have to check Freetime to see if they still exist, some of their kits were unique but required a lot of prep work.

Unfortunately not - for some reason the South Korean navy appears to be ignored by most kit producers even though it has many interesting ships, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sejong_the_Great-class_destroyerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chungmugong_Yi_Sun-sin-class_destroyerThere was a 1/700 kit of a KDX I (KD I) destroyer by D-toys, but it is probably not available anywhere anymore. This is this class: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwanggaeto_the_Great-class_destroyer

I love the design of this frigate, but have not seen anything from a modeling stand point. It looks like a pretty good alternative to the crap LCS designs the USN is being stuck with, especially adding some VLS capability to the second batch. Batch II A high res of the Incheon linkAnyone seen any models?
