The Ship Model Forum

Sure this guys are fast ,ship still is in trials ,but here we have a quite interesting kit from Bronco Models in 1/350 scale
Type 55 Destroyer from China PLA .IMO actually is like a cruiser sized vessel.

Looks good and I like this new Chinese warships.

i have a lot i can build in the mean time, so for now i just hope they enter production.

DreamModel will release a 1/700 kit:

Chinese destroyer of Type 052B/C (two models in one kit)

Here are photos:

The two models appear to have the same problem as there Type 052C/D kit: all edges are rounded. But these edges are characteristic for modern designs...

A 1/350 Taiho and Vanguard would be truly wonderful.

Thanks Rotley - I've checked Blue Ridge's website and it's also confirmed there: https://www.blueridgemodel.com/model-kits

On another modelling related website the future release by Very Fire and Blue Ridge Models of a 1/700 scale German H Class Battleship H-39.

For the sake of my wallet I hope the are no immediate plans for a 1/350 scale kit.

[quote]I am not sure what you mean with:
"1/700 Bavarian" = SMS Bayern, above identified as her sistership SMS Baden? [/quote]

The Chinese characters reads 'Ba Fa Li Ya', a translation of English 'Bavaria' . Undoubtly it's SMS Bayern.

[quote]"1/350 Berlin" = ????[/quote]

The picture shows Chinese character 'Qi Bo Lin' which is translated from 'Zeppelin'. 'Bo Lin' of the 'Qi Bo Lin' happens to be the 'Berlin' in Chinese. Yes that's (yet another :-( ) 1/350 Zeppelin.

edit: Brandon had not heard about it yet, tho its not the first time someone at VF spills the beans online before any announcement.

Translation to the best of my ability.
1/350 Renown, 1/350 Prince of Wales
1/350 Vanguard, 1/700 Bavarian
1/700 Nassau, 1/350 Berlin
1/700 Midway, 1/350 Louisiana
1/350 Aoba, 1/350 Taiho

Loose Cannon's Midway has been out of production for quite a few years now, hasn't it? At least 3+?

I wonder if these will be full hulled or have the waterline option.

Edit to my earler reply:

The 1/800 Midway kit is from kangnam , not he very best kit to say.
But for 11 dollars you cant complain much......
And Orange Hobby does have also a 1/700 Midway resin kit in 1991
Gulf war execution, looks very nice.
greetings Chris

?????
Must have missed that one for sure !
Most times i can find any kit i'm looking for.
I knew that the Jim Shirly was an angled deck.
i have the 1/800 (academy ??) kit here, that is also
an angled deck and i have the old revell 1/500
Midway (as built)kit in the stash.
i will search for the loose cannon one
Thanks chargerman
greetings
Chris

Message to carrierdeck the Jim Shirley was a post war angle deck Midway. Loose Cannon has had a as built kit for several years so there should have been no waiting.

Vanguard, Taiho, Renown and Aoba at 1/350 : Gorgeous ! I buy !
Don't know where I will put them when completed, due to lack of room, but I'll get them when they come :thumbs_up_1:

WOW, :woo_hoo:
especially that 1/700 Midway Class mekes me veeerryyyy happy to say so.
tries for decades ( well....some years) to find a Shirley Midway, but gave up.
A dream has come thrue and because very fire stands there promises
I'll wait with devine patience for this one
greetings
Chris

1/350 Vanguard. Wow. I think many will be happy with that one!

I agree. While their Iowas aren't absolutely perfect (my hope for the Joyyard kit seeing the light of day is fading quickly at this point), they are hands down leaps and bounds better then the Tamiya kits, so I look forward to these new releases.
