Must have missed that one for sure !
Most times i can find any kit i'm looking for.
I knew that the Jim Shirly was an angled deck.
i have the 1/800 (academy ??) kit here, that is also
an angled deck and i have the old revell 1/500
Midway (as built)kit in the stash.
i will search for the loose cannon one
Thanks chargerman

Edit to my earler reply:

The 1/800 Midway kit is from kangnam , not he very best kit to say.
But for 11 dollars you cant complain much......
And Orange Hobby does have also a 1/700 Midway resin kit in 1991
Gulf war execution, looks very nice.
greetings Chris

Loose Cannon's Midway has been out of production for quite a few years now, hasn't it? At least 3+?

The list was:

HMS Renown
HMS Vanguard 1946
HMS King George V
Graf Zeppelin
Aoba
Taiho

1/700
SMS Baden
SMS Nassau
USS Midway 1945

I am not sure what you mean with:
"1/700 Bavarian" = SMS Bayern, above identified as her sistership SMS Baden?
"1/350 Berlin" = ????

The Chinese characters reads 'Ba Fa Li Ya', a translation of English 'Bavaria' . Undoubtly it's SMS Bayern.

Quote:

The picture shows Chinese character 'Qi Bo Lin' which is translated from 'Zeppelin'. 'Bo Lin' of the 'Qi Bo Lin' happens to be the 'Berlin' in Chinese. Yes that's (yet another :-( ) 1/350 Zeppelin.

On another modelling related website the future release by Very Fire and Blue Ridge Models of a 1/700 scale German H Class Battleship H-39.

For the sake of my wallet I hope the are no immediate plans for a 1/350 scale kit.

DreamModel will release a 1/700 kit:

Chinese destroyer of Type 052B/C (two models in one kit)

Here are photos:
https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/1hlukqc1ufmaf34qvqdf.html

The two models appear to have the same problem as there Type 052C/D kit: all edges are rounded. But these edges are characteristic for modern designs...

Trumpeter-Hobby Boss has posted photos on their Facebook page of their stand at Nuremberg.

Included in the display is box art for a 1/350 scale Russian Destroyer Tashkent !942 marked 'Coming Soon'.

There is also a built 1/200 RMS Titanic and box art but no hint of a release date - though, according to a number of comments left on the page, with incorrect safety railing.

Still no sign of the 1/350 HMS Nelson/Rodney, Italian battleships etc. But then nor did I see anything for the 1/350 HMS Cornwall which according to Trumpeter's website is to be released in February.

Do it and then scale it down to 1/700th! :woo_hoo:

I'm convinced that if anyone is going to give us Great Patriotic War era Soviet ships in the two main scales, it will be Trumpeter. Tashkent would be a great start.
