Looks like it might be time to ask the admins to clean up the wishlist talk this has devolved into... guilty myself, of course. Sorry about that!

More specific to the actual topic:

Not sure that a lower hull component from a straight-deck Essex class kit would work for an angled deck ship - the SCB-27 conversions included a 5-foot blister each side.


True, you'd need to add blisters. The good news is that the upper hull gives you your outline to fill against, and the underwater hull is relatively shallow (speaking purely in terms the actual < 1/2" draft of the 1/700 scale model) There remains the question, of course, of whether the length and the bow and stern shapes of the straight-deck kit's lower hull will actually fit the new Intrepid upper hull to begin with. Theoretically they should; but in terms of the actual kits' molded plastic parts there's no way to know until the real thing arrives. Who knows? It could even happen that the old Trumpeter kit lower hull doesn't work, but the Dragon one does. When the Intrepid kit comes out and we find out if one of these options works, I'd be glad to send a spare lower hull to anyone who wants one. I have a stack of them left over from my waterline build of the whole class.

Looks like Vee Hobby is releasing a USS Indiana. First time I believe I have seen her kitted. Curious if they will get her differences right.

I really should prune this thread when I have a moment...

Anyways, the Takom/Snowman SMS Lützow/Derfflinger have been released, and the Hobby Search scans of the kit contents confirm they are the exact same kit as the Flyhawk ones from a few years ago except with the lower hull and having a much smaller PE fret: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10813501

I have to say I’m disappointed In the Snowman battlecruisers. The lutzow does not appear to have the admiral’s bridge (a rather distinctive feature on the real ship). The Derfflinger has the same main mast as the lutzow (in the configuration without the tripod mast, the main mast of the Derfflinger didn’t have the spotting top, only the fore mast did). Of course the mast is an easy fix, but I’d like to know what happened to the admiral’s bridge on Lutzow. I think it would be best to get these kits from Flyhawk, and I hope Flyhawk continues to make them.
At the same time however, the Q Zeppelin looks nice to me, especially as it appears the hull doesn’t have to be spliced together as in the Mark 1 offering.

I guess I'm glad to know they are the same as the plastic from Flyhawk?

I have both the Flyhawk Derfflinger and Lutzow in their super deluxe tons of PE glory. I had scoped out hot to do Derfflinger and thought it was fairly close, but I missed the bit about the spotting top - at least I don't see it in my notes. I hadn't done a thorough analysis on the Lutzow but thought the deck needed modification - didn't get to the flag bridge.

I thought I would do Derfflinger this year but didn't get to it.

I think I've given up on the Flyhawk Moltke....

As I build both Lützow and Derfflinger I can confirm these a reboxed Flyhawk kits.
And so I'm uncertain why is Rick complaining about the kits? If you look at the sprue pics you see the two types of admiral bridges.
They are next to the three funnels.

From my memory they were nice kits. You just have to check your documents because they were rebuild in a lot of details even with there short career.
And the German ships were special prepared when the went out for action.

Lützow
Derfflinger

Greetings Christian

There you have some sneak peeks of the Deluxe (mid-level) edition. I expect the same pattern as for the South Dakota; e.g. there will be yet a Platinum edition with even more PE content.

I was usually on the fence for ordering kits with 3 months till release, but the price for full hull of 32 EUR is a good deal. I figured there will be plenty of resellers just blocking them for themselves and flipping for 70 bucks on ebay. Aaaaand thats exactly what Im seeing already.

Very nice. Hopefully someone in the E.U. will stock it. The Zumwalts have such a unique look.

Hopefully the cost of the kit will not be modelled in proportion to the cost of the real ones.

While I would never expect Trumpeter to take this step, one would now have the hull for a T-3 tanker project. Neosho, anybody?
