Very nice, will definitely take some 33' Personnel Boats for my 1/350 Iowa Class kits.

In a similar vein, is there any chance of you doing some 1980s era 40' Utility Boats also to complete the 1980s Iowa Class fantail boat collection as seen here:

Merci!

Hi Ben - very nice additions, though this is a question about your previous new release. The 1/72 Quad Bofors you posted looks outstanding. Is there any chance of it being done in
1/48th scale also? I'd love to be able to do a Wildcat or Dauntless on the Enterprise flight deck with the Bofors as part of the diorama.
Thanks for any information, and keep up the great work.

Me I was hoping for 1/35. A number of shipboard weapons are getting kitted in 1/35. Granted almost all of them are modern, but one thing at a time. Black Cat does great work.

Hello Mr.Church,
Yes, a 40ft utility boat is on the production list, but we cannot give any release date as Black Cat Models workshop is currently undergoing a major refit. More room was needed, so walls are being pushed to accommodate more printers and storage shelves...
