Very interesting injection 1/700 kit from DreamModel ,the newest destroyer from China ,which is a very capable vessel and certainly very nice looking also.
Type 055 Destroyer
Not building 1/700 anymore, but this one looks really good


Just wish Trumpeter will scale up this one to 1/350

This kit looks much better then their Type 052C/D kit. The later was really problematic, because all edges were rounded.

I got email from FreeTime that my 1/350 Trumpeter HMS Exeter has shipped!

Agree Lars ,pretty bad model,the good thing there is a better alternate for the 052C from S Model

Yes, the S-Model of the Type 052C is much better. Unfortunately, there is no alternative for Type 052D yet.

How many of the Trumpeter 1/350 entries in the catalog for 2018 have been actually released?
I am saving my money for the Langley and one of the US NAVY cruisers.

Seems like flyhawk is going to release some kind of PT boat but I can´t see what scale? Does anyone read here read Chinese?

http://www.flyhawkmodel.com/

Announced are an Italian and American PT. I haven't found their scale.

I am almost sure that they will be 1/700 scale ,so far Flighthawk don't have any plastic model in 1/350 and they made about a 8 months ago, a big announcement of their first 1/350 kit ,which will be the HMS Prince of Wales.

Judging from the drawings, it is 1/700 (or smaller). The mast e.g. would be ridiculous for larger scales.

I'll take several of each

New variant of Zeppelin r-type from Mark I in 1/720, the airships R33/R34

Not my scale or medium (I'm a card modeler), but I'm glad someone is making zepplins.

I still hope Trumpeter surprises us with a 1980’s-90’s 1/200 Iowa.....

I wonder if these will be able to be built as waterline?

If they are 1/700, that is.

USS Laffey & Farenholt
HIJMS Sub-Chasers No. 4 - 7

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on the MAS and PT109. Otherwise they won't need a very big box. Did you scroll down and see the MAS comes with three Maiale/Chariots? Maybe there are more coming for the boxing, like a Vosper, an S-boot, an X-craft or a Tupolev G5. They could do multiples of each boat, but who needs a dozen MAS? Oh, they do seem to me to be waterline. Except the Maiale.

Hope they release some Vospers, too, to accompany their St Nazaire Campbeltown. That will make a nice tiny dio, unless you want to make the entire port!

waterline? what the heck, you just take the damn thing, grind it on sandpaper 3 times and there you have your waterline.
