The Ship Model Forum

Just to let you know if you haven't seen it in the file "manufacturers and suppliers" that L'Arsenal has produced 2 new kits : the French destroyer Georges Leygues class at 1/400 and the British Hunt class at 1/350. I think it deserves being mentioned here as well. Photos available in the other post. I personally ordered the Georges Leygues.

Five Star just announced some new Resin ships, continuing their line of small IJN Ships.

I sure do wish they would do some smaller USN, RN, RAN, RNZN, etc. small ships.

E.V.A. has announced on their Facebook page the re-release of 1/350 scale resin model of the WWII Italian submarine Scirè.

Scirè was famous for putting HMS Valiant and HMS Queen Elizabeth out of action in Alexandria harbour for several months.

Does anyone know when Corsair Armada’s 1/700 scale World War II US Navy Motor Torpedo Boat Tender (AGP) kit will be available?

Announced by Combrig in 1/700:

[b]Scientific research vessel "Akademik Ioffe" 1988-1991[/b] :woo_hoo:

[b]Intelligence collection (spy) ship project 864 ship "Pelengator Vasiliy Tatishchev "[/b]

[quote="PetrOs"]While searching on Taobao, I ran onto a few new 1/700 kits from Oceanmoon:

US Gunboat PG-1 Yorktown
US Gunboat PG-2 Petrel

IJN Cruiser Yoshino (new version, much different then the old one)

As they recent kits, they use lots of PE, and have a nice level of details.[/quote]

Were I still as passionate about 1:700 predreadnought vessels, I would have these in a heartbeat...

Hi,
they should become available at NNT soon, too. ther Ocean Moon kit are already available.
Best regards, Ralf

I just added Yoshino and Yorktown to my ongoing Taobao order myself too..

I was right.

There were/are some new small-ships in Resin.

[url=http://www.fstarmodel.com/pd.jsp?id=482#_jcp=2]Five Star IJN Type No.53 Sub-Chaser[/url]


[url=http://www.fstarmodel.com/pd.jsp?id=483#_jcp=2]Five Star IJN Type B Escort[/url]

[url=http://www.fstarmodel.com/pd.jsp?id=484#_jcp=2]Five Star IJN Type No.103 Auxiliary Sub-Chaser[/url]

[url=http://www.fstarmodel.com/pd.jsp?id=485#_jcp=2]Five Star IJN Type No.3 Sub-Chaser[/url]

The No.53 and No.3 Sub-Chasers are actually variants of the Type No.1 Sub-Chaser, and the Type No.51 Sub-Chasers, but had noticeable differences in their structures. In the No.53 Sub-Chaser it was having Turbine instead of Diesel engines. In the No.3 Sub-Chaser, it was having a pole-mast and different bridge roof.

I think Rainbow also came out with some new Resin Ships. I recall seeing some resin versions of the yard auxiliaries that typically came in the Tamiya or Aoshima "Tuggers" set, but cannot recall who makes them (or I would post links).

Even if it was something that I was interested in buying

I have that IHP kit. Purchased direct and paid quite a bit less.

I have the 1/350 Akizuki and has decals for one of her sisters ,I think is the Teruzuki ,but I believe the kit should have decals for the Kurama, I don't think Pit Road is bringing a different box Kurama.

Thanks for the heads up ,just ordered one in AmiAmi ,it is cheaper than HLJ[/quote]

Yeah same here! Might get a second one.

[quote="Heavy Melder"]Anybody know if Pit-Roads soon to be released 1/350 JMSDF Defense Destroyer DDH-143 Shirane will come with decals to do her sister ship as well? Or will there be a another boxing perhaps?

Weren’t there some new small ships released?

I could swear that Five Star released a Aircraft Recovery Ship (a higher detailed version of the one that comes in the IJN Tuggers set).

I wish Five Star would finish the Second Set of the PE for those ships.
