I'm for this one too. I was going to grab the Danton when Squadron had a smoking deal on her but Lord Nelson is really more up my alley. Who knows when I'll be able to build her, but I don't mind taking the kit out and drooling once in a while.

I shall watch this space.

Any rumours of 1/700 Pensacola class CA in plastic?

De quoi s'agit-il?

Academy's 2017 catalogue with 3 new 1/700 subjects, 2 versions of USS Missouri(WWII and Korean War) and USS Enterprise. The first picture of USS Missouri(the one in the black and white picture) looks like a Korean War version ?

It also looks like they have two different versions of the USS Indianapolis coming out.

And they will probably BOTH be the late-war versions.

Hopefully that means the 1/350 HMS Rodney will not be far behind.

That's just the current 1/350 versions - one of just Indy, and the other with the I58 sub and PE parts.

In the Academy catalog some kits are tagged "MCP". Is this an abbreviation for multi colored parts?

Yes

Which of the Nelsons you mean? Since yesterday, Hobby Boss Lord Nelson Pre-Dread 1:350 is available on Preorder at my store with the ETA April.

Further kits in preparation.

The price is $56 so I suspect Freetime have made a mistake and confused HMS Nelson with HMS Lord Nelson.

The picture is the HMS Nelson 1944. They must have made a mistake, so that is why I wonder such a kit would be this cheap!

Are there any updates on the Cyber Hobby CVN 65 Enterprise release? Have this one on pre-order and would love to get my hands on it at some point.

Free Time Hobbies has listed the following Trumpeter kits for pre-order. I'm sure yall already know about these, but I'm already saving my pennies for an Italian fleet in 350th

Littorio 1941
Vittorio Veneto
Zara, Fiume, Gorizia Heavy Cruisers

Free Time Hobbies is also showing Showcase Model Australia's 1/350 HMS/HMAS Vendetta up for pre-order @ $65.95.

Nothing about it on Showcase Model Australia's own website or Facebook page though. The website does show a 1/350 HMAS Vampire 1 as not being released but that has been there for quite a while.

http://freetimehobbies.com/1-350-showca ... -preorder/

The very last item in the FreeTimeHobbies "preorder" section on page 2 is the 1/700 Dragon CVN Enterprise at $49.95 (which has resurfaced again).

I had noticed that Steve. Also, I had checked on Dragon USA a few weeks back and although it was listed, you could not pre-order it. Now it seems you can. I really hope it doesn't turn into one of those mythic releases that never was.

Just saw on HLJ and Amiami a listing for a 1/350 Borei class SSBN from Zvezda. Believe that makes four in this scale now....
