I can't remember this being listed - Gwylan Models (who normally do 1/1200th scale) have just released a 1/700th scale resin kit of the latest Russian Steregushchy class corvette (Project 20380 ) - please see ;

http://www.gwylanmodels.co.uk/GM700-01_info.html

I do not know anything about the company or quality of the kit.

Phil, check this month's reviews

Did anyboby note that Pit Road will soon release the RN WW II fast minelayers HMS Ariadne and HMS Abdiel in 1/700 in resin?
The price seems quite steep though...

Well that are not alone.
We (“we” mean OKB Grigorov) also plan to do it. Actually only some of the small parts must be designed. The kit will feature extended PE plate.

Academy has presented what seems to be a *resin* 1:350 kit of the ROKS Cheonan, the patrol vessel sunk by North Korea this year.

Keep your eyes open and your fingers crossed that we will see the return of Ships and Company with the release of a U.S.S. Whidbey Island in 1/700 possibly first or second quarter of 2011. Long hard road for these fellows but you have to respect them for they haven't given up the fight to market a line of never done before USN subjects.

You are also overlooking OKB Grigorov who is rocking the submarine modelers world with their never been offered before, full hull Russian and USN offerings. What good collector would not have a submarine in their fleet ...I ask you? A U.S.S. George Washington SSBN is due to be released in quantity. First time, done in resin, full hull and 1/700.



Who knows....Ships and Company and OKB maybe the tip of the spear in a resin counter-offensive against Chinese mold injected subjects which were done before in mold injected and resin

I'm a 1/700 USN hobbyist who builds resin and mold injected. I'm the type of hobbyist that manufacturers dread for I exercise discipline and restraint over my collection. I purchase never been done before subjects and superior quality. I'm a moderately skilled modeler, ease of building is important but secondary for I'm a ship modeler who has to accept frustration and lack of superior skills.

With the exception of Dragon's releases of the 1/700 Bensons and Essexes and OKB's USN offerings, my wallet has remained closed in 2010.

Wow thats a nice kit and an interesting subject.I guess with that kit you can do every Pohang class corvette too.

Hey guys, Niko has shots of its recent 1/700 kit up on their site!!!!!

I communicated with the U-Boat laboratorium today, and got some great news!
1/350 resin kit of De Ruyter (WW2) is ready for production, and would start in januar. Afterwards, they are going to bring 2 pre-dreadnought era, and 3 WW2 era kits on the market. I have seen some of the master models last year, and I have to say, they are great!
