The Ship Model Forum

When scrolling down the twitter link here above, appears a completed model of DDG 179 Maya of the Japanese Navy. Does anyone know if this is 1/700 or 1/350 and who delivers that kit ?

It looks like the Pit-Road release of their 1/700 Maya DDG-179 back in May: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10733307

You have to write directly to them asking for the kit. I do not know if they will offer the kit regularly.

Could I suggest anybody on this forum to avoid making reference to Facebook pages ?
This company does not allow having access to the information if you are not registered, and I do not want to be registered with Facebook as it is not safe with regards to privacy protection.
Thanks

Depending on which browser and access format you're using, you *can* view companies' pages without having to log in. In any case, we link to Facebook where necessary because often that's the only place where manufacturers post information, and for the sake of credibility, we need to post the original source of the material. If you don't feel comfortable visiting a Facebook page, that's fine - no one's making you do it, but if the information's not available elsewhere, then there's nothing for the rest of us to do.

Phil Gollin:

May I ask who is the “they” that are working on the Hunt I and II class destroyer escorts? Starling or Atlantic?

Please advise.

Thanks!

It also depends on which kind of link to Facebook is used. Apparently, the short links are the ones, which are the most exclusive.

In this case, it would be most helpful that the ones referring to Facebook, mention at least the scale and the name of the kit which is presented on the Facebook page. Then, asking Mr Google to show photos would be possible.

Black Cat Models just announced a USS Ward on 12/7 (or 7/12 for those of you in more civilized countries!) I imagine it'll be brilliant like all of their work.

Mr. Kuo:

I have seen YG models on ebay, but is there any other place they can be purchased online by overseas buyers? In particular, this kit?

Please advise.

Thanks!
