It would depend on sales of Missouri

I'm willing to buy 10 to help make that happen. Lol OK, maybe not ten, but I'm in for two. I can't wait to see it released.

Well, I'm glad I've held off buying the Tamiya Missouri and will be buying this one. Maybe if I wish really hard at Christmas they might scale their Montana up to 1/350!

Snowman Model's 1/700 Gearing Class Destroyer kit is out. Here it is:

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a2 ... t=4#detail

Looks like it has inadequate freeboard, and that it could use a thick waterline baseplate (this is easily fixed)--but otherwise it seems to be a very nice kit!

I would add to Mike's very welcome comments that this is a double kit; two Gearings in the box.
It's showing up on US eBay as well.

I saw the Very Fire 1/350 Missouri is now available for order on HLJ.com as well:

https://hlj.com/product/VRFVFM350903

30 USD for 2 kits! Sounds like a good deal.

How much extra freeboard would you suggest...1 - 1 1/2 mm strip? That would represent 2 - 3 scale feet.

A 1/350 Langley in both versions and 1/350 Counties? That’s gonna make some people happy!!

In the yards right now:

1/350 USS Portland CA-33 1942
1/350 Trumpeter Texas with a twist

They MUST scale some of these down to 1/700. Maybe the 2019-2020 catalog

Thank you Hangchang

1/350 Counties!!!!! ,also the lovely Schleswig Holstein in two versions and finally a very beautiful Tashkent

I was wishing for a Revenge Class ,or the Big 5's in 1/350.

No Whine Policy
1.- Modify it
2.- Ignore it
3.- Don't build it

Count me in on that one, it would appear that the Counties are being given the correct superstructure config. It is going to be a costly event this.

County class - excellent news - but how will Trumpeter mess them up ?

.

At least they announced now to scale down some Type 23 frigate kits, therefore there could be hope for some other in 1/700.
