On another site AJM have posted various messages about their short-term releases. Here is a post formed by editing them together (all 1/700th) ;

"Ramillies ww1 hull,prepared for printing" (along with CAD of hull only).

"We will probably design Ramillies for 1938 and some other R in camouflage for ww2. Maybe it will be Revenge. I will see which one has the most photos. We are currently designing Hms Eagle ww2 also there will be Hms Effingham and Hms Vindictive 1940 as a repair ship.

I plan to make a few merchants from Operation Pedestal

Hms Enterprise ww2 will be released as an anniversary issue no. 50 at the turn of March and April this year

.

He has an ongoing thread here, in the Manufacturers Forum: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=321216&start=240#p1064800

Three more 1/700 releases from Fairy Kikaku:

1) Dutch turret ram vessel "Buffel" (built 1868, NATO code A884) as hulk:

2) Argentine coast defence ship ARA "Independencia" 1893-1948:
https://www.hlj.com/1-700-scale-independencia-firs162

3) IJA transport ship "Amuru Maru" 1932 (aka Amur Maru, later Mansei Maru):
https://www.hlj.com/1-700-scale-amuru-m ... rt-firs164


Regarding this kit from my last post - I have since received the model and it is definitely NOT the "Shinsei Maru #5" (former WW1 USSB EFC Laker type built in 1917). The vessel in the kit is too big and too modern, it looks like a ~3.000t freighter from the late 1930s or early '40s - it could be "Shinsei Maru #18". Any thoughts on that? Here's the link: https://www.hlj.com/1-700-scale-leyte-l ... 12-firs160

Triumph models has released a 1/350 IJN Mutsuki DD. It seems to be a resin hull and plastic 3d parts with added PE. Theprice seems right.

So should this be in the resin New items or the 3d printed new items?

De quoi s'agit-il?

I wish a manufacturer would release 1/350 scale British cruisers of the late Victorian and early Edwardian era (1890s to 1910).

Announcement from Seed Hobby in 1/700:

Spanish heavy cruiser Canarias


(maybe better in 3D printed now)

How to turn one of the most graceful classes of ships ever built into one of the ugliest ! ( Even HMS London looked reasonable. )

However, having said that I have a morbid fascination with the ship, and may well get one just to show it off against her more attractive cousins.

.

I will certainly get one, though I agree with Phil about the unfortunate appearance of Canarias and Baleares. Maybe Seed Hobby will also produce the post WW2 version with two funnels that looked quite nice.

I don't see the bow knuckle nor the torpedo bulges on the model that was on the real ships.

They are at least visible on this rendering:
