Hi Mike,

I don't think it's available now. However I am constantly scanning Taobao stores to see if it's released. If it become available I'll either order from Taobao directly or use one of many Taobao buying agents. Of course you can always buy from your favorite eBay seller(s) sooner or later.

Has EV Model gone out business? Their site in down.

EV just posted pictures of a new kit a couple of days ago on Facebook.

Many Chinese companies have no website, but are still operating.

YES ! An excellent choice, although I am a little surprised they haven't done an HMS Warrior, as she still exists.

.

.

Atlantic Models have released their 1/350th kit of HMS Badsworth, a Type II Hunt class Escort Destroyer.

A very nice, split hull kit, with lovely detail.

.

I received two days ago the brand new Combrig's 1:700 Early USN destroyers. Gorgeous as anticipated. Resin and PE.
An example (this is USS Mayrant DD-31, a Paulding class ship):



Comparative of hulls for four of these new kits. From top: USS Smith, USS Mayrant, USS Porter and USS Allen (sorry for the wrong focal: Allen's hull isn't bended):



Also one of their new 1:700 Eagle class patrol boats :



Combrig has produced most classes of early USN destroyers. Curiously they passed Bainbridge and Truxtun classes...

Is this available yet???

I have been out-of-commission for about 5 years, and I am just getting caught-up on what is available that I need to buy to occupy the new vast amounts of shelf and closet-space I now have (before hopefully getting some things finished).

I got an email from Yi Xudong at Five Star Models about upcoming releases.

He sent photos of the Models, so that I could be prepared to buy what I wanted (which is usually “All of them”).

I don’t have names for these, but they are likely IJN, Manchukuo, Chinese, or Thai, dating to the period of WWI to WWII.

Here are the Photos.

IJN Cruiser Ioshima/Yasohima (From the former Republic of China Ning Hai/Ping Hai).










Republic of China/Taiwan AOE 532 Panshih


IJN Minecruiser Itsukushima!


I do not know the names of any, and currently I have not succeeded in identifying any of them.

Obviously there is “One of these things that’s not like the others” in this list, as it is a Modern Ship, and not a WWII vintage Auxiliary, or small ship.

MB

Edit:

OH! And if anyone can help identify these, it would be really helpful. I didn’t get a response (yet) on the names)

Cool, a new kit of the minecruiser Itsukushima!

It is the last photo. The first photo shows the Japanese cruiser Ioshima or Yasohima, the former Chinese Ning Hai/Ping Hai.
