I would have thought there would have been some test shots of the prototype of the Trumpeter 1/350 Exeter kit from a model show in China by now.

Since many of formerly announced releases, including a 1/350 Nelson & Rodney which have yet to appear, I would not expect to see an Exeter or York this side of 2020.

Any reports from that model show?

He is speaking hypothetically

The model show I was referring to was the "Shanghai Model Show" in August where Snowman indicated they would have the Gearing class on display. This info is on Snowman's site.

It is an old show and Snowman does not do 1/350 plastic

Timmy, There seems to be a 1/350 Fuyuzuki coming from a company called Wave:

I couldn't see it in your list but it may be under a different manufacturer?

Is it a good kit? I always liked these big destroyers.

That's quite soon, do we have any idea yet what about it will be different or is it just an item in a list at this stage?

I bought the Montana - had decals for the Louisiana - basically "Louisiana" and #71 (in black and white).

Well, Louisiana is probably different a bit as I can judge from the list:
Price is slightly different
Planned superdetail set is different, at a different price.
