I know, I actually pre-ordered one a few months ago. :) I'm just saying the 1/700 release is a nice surprise for me.

There is 100% a 1/350 kit. I have one in my hands to review.

Well, I have nothing to add. :)

This is a nice surprise, then.

Thank you.

Looking at some of the listings the 350 PE fret is slightly different from the 700 PE fret, so I would asumme there actually is a 700 kit. There are also a few other differences like the 700 Bofors being printed as one part.

It's also being sold by VF's official Taobao FWIW.

USS STEVENS (DD-476) and USS FLETCHER (DD-445) have ben released and available.

I saw a notice on the HLJ website* that the 1/350 scale THE SULLIVANS (DD-537) in WWII configuration (Anti-Kamikaze configuration and MAYBE the five twin 40-mm mounts configuration in one box was mentioned, but parts layout doesn't confirm this) was released at the end of August 2026. Some retail sources estimate availability in October 2026.

Stevens was reviewed right here in MW back in March: https://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/s ... _65308.htm

Reposting from the CASF, as the post (IMO) belongs on this thread as well.

Pre-orders of the USS Langley (CV-1) in 1/700 scale. The site indicates that the tentative release month is this coming November.

Does anyone know of any US retailers also offering pre-orders?

Hey, the new 1/350 scale FLETCHER kits from iLove arrived at my house from Squadron (pre-ordered) today. Squadron made no announcement online that these kits had arrived.

They look much like the USS STEVENS kit in basic hull and bridge details. The aft deckhouses are different from STEVENS as to be expected.

This kit has the over scaled "armor-belt" on the full hull only option, like seen on the STEVENS kit. I'm going to use now surplus Trumpeter waterline hulls, which the iLove decks fit with little trim at the fantail, on my builds.

Agree, I mentioned it above then went back to the list and noticed several more 1/350 kits missing.
Who is in a position to update the list?

A minor update to the list, The Takom Moskva has been released, I have one.
A box art for a 1/350 1990s USS Midway has been completed and even though Trumpeter has not mentioned anything I can assume that they are the manufacturers.
Last, can we finally put Dragon to rest and list the unreleased kits as "shelved"?
