The Ship Model Forum

Dear fellow modellers,

under this topic we will continously announce either new kits or accessories done by our self under the label SSN Modellbau or what is new in the SSN Modellbau Shop.


Isn´t there a better way to start with as with the announcement that a big parcel from North Star Models arrived? In this parcel were many figure sets of the new wonderfully designed Aircraft Carrier Personnel in 1/350, 1/200 and 1/144 scales!

Furthermore all LST fans will now find the AFV Club PE set designed for its 1/350 LST kit!

Hey guys,

yesterday we got a parcel from a new supplier: YX Model!

They´ve done a couple very nicely 3D printed stud link anchor chains in 1/700, 1/350 and 1/200 scales!!!

They also do some very interesting direction finders in 1/700 and 1/350. These are 3D printed, too.

And for all of you who are still searching for some wooden decks take a look at our special offers. Many wooden decks are discounted during August!

Cool, you got those 3D printed chains! There were a lot of people asking what the manufacturer means by "ø = 0.25mm" or whatever value: are they talking about with the total width of each link (a), or are they talking about the actual diameter of a "bar" in a link (b)?

_________________
De quoi s'agit-il?

Hey Timmy,

It's answer (b). I've just taken a measurement of the 1/350 chain.

Hey folks,

as there is a lot of interest in these wonderful new anchor chains we´ve taken one 1/350 chain for measuring purposes. Take a look at the attached pictures. There is a comparison how it looks like on the 1/350 Knox Class from Orange Hobby and also of the very good packaging.


Happy modelling!

Dear fellow modellers,

after years of trying, failing, learning and trying again we are now in the fortunate position of being able to announce the first two 3D printed figure sets in 1/350 of SSN Modellbau !!!

With the set "Besatzungsmusterung" scenes can be presented as for example from the movie "Das Boot" in which the crew is mustered on the upper deck in the U-Boat bunker.
https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/figures/figures-1-350/ssn-modellbau-197/ssn-m35001-besatzungsmusterung.html?language=en

"Manning the Rail" is suitable e.g. for the occupation of aircraft carrier flight decks by the crew in parade formation.
https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/figures/figures-1-350/ssn-modellbau-197/ssn-m35002-manning-the-rail.html


More sets are in the planning stage and will soon be ready for production.

Dear fellow modellers,

Hello fellow modellers,

it seems everything will be a little delayed this year. But finally we are happy to announce that we´ve got the first batch of PetrOs´ HMS Diana 1794 sailing frigate kits in 1/350!

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/Model-Kits/Model-Kits-1-350/petros/pom350001-fregatte-hms-diana-1794-1-350.html?language=en

Dear fellow modellers,

First of all: thank you very much for all your support during this special year!
Second: we apologize for the delays in shipping to our overseas customers. Shipments to countries outside Europe is still very often not possible.

Because of the pandemia we are facing strange times challenging us. In our main profession the job situation is still very good. In the sparetime we are running the SSN Modellbau Shop and we are doing our best to fullfill all customer´s wishes.
Because of this double load one can imagine that sometimes we´re reaching the borders of the possible especially now when there are no shows and many people have a lot of time for the hobby. In the worst case it can happen that we answer to requests with delay or that orders are not processed as fast as normal.

However, we are working hard to supply you with the best aftermarket items and even enhance our offerings for our beautiful hobby. So there were some additions over the last few months.

Arstit Hobby released some lovely detailed 1/700 resin kits of the famous HMS Victory:

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/advanced_search_result.php?categories_id=0&keywords=victory&inc_subcat=1

The easy to use injection moulded details for IJN ships from Finemolds are now available next to some bigger scale models from this brand:

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/?manufacturers_id=57

And of course, we can order other kits from this manufacturer, too. If you´re are in need for something just drop us a line.
The same applies to Hasegawa as well as Tamiya:

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/?manufacturers_id=58

And finally VeryFire´s USS Cleveland reached the German market:

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/Model-Kits/Model-Kits-1-350/very-fire-210/vf350920-1-350-uss-cleveland.html


Because of the pandemia most of the modelling shows we planned to attend are cancelled. According to our timetable the next show you can meet us will be the Euro Model Expo in Lingen/Germany in June 2021 followed by the World Model Expo in Veldhoven/The Netherlands in July 2021.
A long time to go and also a long time for creating new modelling products. There are several new things in the final planning stage.
So stay tuned on this channel.


Happy modelling!

Yours SSN Modellbau team

Happy New Year fellow modellers!

With the beginning of the New Year we are happy to announce the launch of a new product: Ankertauminen (contact mines).
These mines can be seen strung on the minerails of WWII ships in many historical pictures. We´ve done the design already many years ago but were never able to produce them – until now!

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/Photoetch-14/Photoetch-1-350/SSN-Modellbau-100/ssn-r35051-ankertauminen.html

The latest additions to the shop were Infini´s sets for Trumpeter´s 1/350 Bismarck:

https://www.ssnmodellbau.de/?view_mode=default&GXsid_1eefef90672b336c=166a07440b6460d706a5f872324609c1&manufacturers_id=20&listing_sort=date_desc&manufacturers_id=20&filter_id=0&listing_count=9

Soon they will launch the big detail set for the most famous German capital ship.

Further on we will constantly stock Black Cat as well as Veteran items. Both stocks were recently filled up.

Because of the pandemia restocking from some other manufacturers is still difficult or just impossible and we all have to be patient until the whole situation is getting better worldwide.

Then we did some minor organisational changes. Shipments to Germany face a little delay because we will get a new contract with DHL. We hope to get all formalities solved during the first week of January so that we can proceed as usual. The shipping costs for German customers aren´t affected by this.

In order to catch the administration efforts caused by small orders for internationl shipments we inaugurated a low order fee for orders with less than EUR 20,- value. This fee is EUR 10,-.


Happy Modelling!

Yours SSN Modellbau team
