Thanks alot, Daniel

Hello Daniel.
Scale 1/350 will be available in the next 10 days and we will immediately offer it to our dealers (shop.modellmarine.de - of course, too).

1/200 - end of October - Early November.

Also, In the near future will be released on a special set for models "Bismarck" in 1/200 and 1/350 - name "May 5 1940 - Fuhrer inspecting the Bismarck at Gotenhafen". It will be big set (500 figures), and will be supplemented with additional figures: Admiral G�nther L�tjens, Kapit�n Ernst Lindemann, Fuhrer.

Looks like the CiC is going to be upset again. I can't see passing these up. I'm trying to put a crew on a 1/350 scale USS Bennington. These look perfect.

Are they out yet?

[sirpaul]

I will be buying some 350th scale ones. Probably quit a few sets. The question i have is: What are they made out of ??? I hope plastic.

I would also enjoy AA crews, but I would prefere more relaxed positions than for example the Fujimi ones. If not in immediate danger, crews try to find a bit more relaxed positions close to their battle station. To me, those would be a lot more useful for manning my ships.

Will you be doing 1/350 IJN sailors ?

[Northstarmodels]

I apologize for the slight delay with the release of the figures.These kind of poses are very complicated and because of that we spent a lot of time to experiment of making sets the way modelers could separate the figure from the platform.
The final version of the set will look like this (1/350 - US crew, and 1/200 scale, for 1/200 two sets on photo - German and USA):

[angeleyes]

These 1/200 scale figures in particular will make me rethink building full hull the new Bismarck.I cant imagine the size of waterlined Bismarck base.

[Admiral John Byng]

I am really impressed by these pictures! I will have to buy a kit to use the US figures on.
Looking forward to the Royal Navy figures.

Hi,

these sailors are absolutely outstanding.
Do you also have any releasedate for the new German sailors in 1:350 (with these common workingpositions) ?

Thanks alot for showing it here... Daniel

These figures definitely are a great improvement over everything else. I would suggest issuing several sets to avoid a set of crew both in action (carrying shells), swabbing the decks or posing for photographs plus bridge crew behind binocular stands. I feel it now is too much of a mixed bag.

- Main set with crew standing/hanging about, using binoculars, walking about, standing, climbing stairs. (General set)

- Crew manning anti-aircraft guns and rangefinders, carrying shells etc. (Action set)

- Aircraft carrier crew preparing for a launch (Carrier set)

- Crew posting for group shots, swabbing the deck, carrying supplies (At ease set)

For the current set you can use about 25% for a ship at sea or in action. I also think it would be more useful to first finish a series of USN sets before starting other navies (even though I need Royal Navy only... ).

Hey Northstar? Any chance you guys could make ladder steps in 1/200 like you did for 1/350?

[Admiral John Byng]

Any news on these figures? Have they been released?
I have a US destroyer waitng for them.

Just 2 questions:

1. Is there something wrong with your website? I tried accessing 'northstarmodels.com' and keep getting a cannot display error message.

2. Are these figures available in Australia?

From the pics in this thread the figures look by the far the best 1/350 scale going around.

Thanks
Rod

Thanks for the info litvin70.

Unfortunately, when I click on the link it seems to take me to an error page written in Russian. I can navigate to the opening page for the website but my Russian is a little scratchy to say the least and my computer's translation software has trouble translating Russian into an understandable form of English.
