That's pretty awesome, Hanchang! Thanks! I hope that project does reach fruition. I've added it as "No name small Chinese company" under the 1/700 section.

Double cool on that!

It's been very difficult to find rumours of new Chinese releases since Sonicmodel went kaput . Fortunately somebody was kind enough to share this link with me. Here's the latest progress on 1/700 HMS Agincourt:

That means we are closer to a 1/700 HMS Agincourt in plastic ! The end of the world is coming...

New site where Trumpeter news is leaked:
http://lt.cjdby.net/home.php?mod=space& ... from=space
Not much news for ships, though

350 warspite and qe from some early bird
http://www.imx365.net/bbs/thread-155279-1-1.html
http://www.imx365.net/bbs/thread-155281-1-1.htm

It is from china

Am assuming that these are the forthcoming Trumpeter kits?

Wow! Check out those greens in the colour schemes!

Scumbag Trumpeter: Provides PE for 20mm shields and HACS, gives you clunky plastic cranes.

Just the prototype of 1/700 IJN Ryuho:

Latest progress on 1/700 Agincourt. According to other rumours, Flyhawk will be responsible for marketing this kit. The kit will include brass barrels and photo ethced parts.

These two threads solved the problem of access to their site. Thanks for the help so now all we need to see is supporting intelligence that they are both injection molded plastic in 700 scale. I must admit I'm still a skeptic.
