For those who enjoy building paper card models (or using paper card models as templates for scratch-building), GPM of Poland has released some exciting new models in 1/200 scale this year. Among many are:

Tone class heavy cruiser Chikuma. Link: https://sklep.gpm.pl/en/modelcard/ships/1/200/chikuma-1

Yorktown class aircraft carrier USS Hornet CV-8 (GPM got the hull right). Link: https://sklep.gpm.pl/en/modelcard/ships ... v-8-1942-r

Illustrious class aircraft carrier HMS Victorious (R38). Link: https://sklep.gpm.pl/en/modelcard/ships/1/200/-1

Admiral Hipper class heavy cruiser Blücher. Link: https://sklep.gpm.pl/en/modelcard/ships/1/200/blucher-2


Although Model Monkey is not associated with GPM, there are many Model Monkey 3D-printed products perfectly suited to paper card models. Among them are sets of IJN vents and complete islands for USS Hornet CV-8 and USS Enterprise CV-6 and directors and turrets for many 1/200 scale subjects.

Having just finished a 1/200th Answer model of the WW2 fast minelayer HMS Abdiel, I would make a plea for 3D print versions of Royal Navy boats, liferafts and guns to be available in this scale that were common to RN cruisers and destroyers of the period. I was lucky enough to have the GPM PE set for this model and also buy extra sets of the relevant parts of the Hachettte part work model of HMS Hood several years ago but that isn't an option any more.

There are lots of RN WW2 subjects available as card models.
