The Ship Model Forum

We are proud to announce the COMING SOON news of our 1/350 scale model kit for HMS Hermes (R12)!

Features: High accuracy based on research, detailed hangar bay with exposed portside, detailed Harriers/Sea Harriers/Sea Kings with waterslide decals and brass/PE details, full-color instruction booklet, and full-color box.

Ballpark Price: $200–$300 USD

Release Timeline: After we deliver all CV-7 Wasp and IJN Shoho kits currently in production, which will be in approximately 1–2 months.

Last but not least, we believe many of our readers have noticed the breathtaking painting that will be used as our box art! We are thrilled to have tremendous support from the well-known artist Ross Watton for both our kit development and artwork. Ross has authored numerous books featuring high-quality plans and illustrations, which we believe are in the collections of many fellow modelers. The excellent book The Aircraft Carrier Victorious (Anatomy of the Ship) by Ross was the main reference we relied upon for the development of our 1/350 HMS Illustrious kit back in 2022!
We make Novel n' Fun model kits that are designed with heart!

full hull, waterline or both?

Both versions will be offered, as always!

700 scale, maybe yes too, as there is no plastic kit on the market =)

Awesome, are y'all thinking of a backdated version with real jet airplanes?

Yes

Flyhawk does a 1982 Hermes as a member on this site just did 1. http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery ... /index.htm

I think it is based on a resin kit by Orange Hobby.

Such as during 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis?

That too.

A new kit of HMS Hermes in 1/350 Scale will be absolutely wonderful. At the time of the Falklands War the vessel had been rebuilt into a unique and fascinating configuration, perfect for modellers!
