It's a new mold. I'm pretty sure we discussed it previously, but can't find it.

Anyway, AFV has posted close-ups of the kit on their FB page where you can see how the parts differ from the old Dragon/PR kit.

De quoi s'agit-il?

True, it is a new kit:

Hmmm...no included PE?

AFV Club released their Knox class kit first without PE, later with PE and a version of the Taiwanese Navy with PE. Hopefully, they will do the same with this kit. But most PE parts can be taken from the GMM USN/JMSDF set, which include parts for the masts etc.

/edit: on the Facebook page it is stated "Photo-etched parts included", not sure, which parts are included.

PE is in the kit for the two cantilevered supports for the upper yardarm.

I don't usually take much notice of box art but that picture for the new Trumpeter Exeter is fine. I mean fiiiiine.

Another Exeter?? How about a Town or Colony class???? At least a C Class cruiser is coming out soon.

Is there a kit out there of Crosley-class APD? Or what would be best way to build an APD of Crosley class based on Rudderow class destroyer? In 1/700 scale.

I am not sure, if a Edsall class converted to a DER could be good starting point, but there is a kit of HQ-4 Trần Khánh Dư ex USS DER-334 Forster by Doggy Industries MDW017):

Really good to see they follow through on one class release! Great looking flat top!

We still dont have a KGV or DoY as derivative of their PoW sadly, nor Tirpitz from Bismark. Hope that changes.
