I've ordered Rawalpindi. By the looks of the kit it can be built in civilian guise

Nice to see you're taking that one. I'm sure the build will look excellent. If you want to do a review, Lloyd's has deck plans for Ranpura.

Strike the iron while it's hot.

True, but this is the great strength of the Chinese. They jump on an opportunity when they see it.

FYI:
Links didn't work...Is this the French submarine Narval of WWII?

You should use the quote button ("), otherwise we don't know which link you're referring to.

I actually was admiring that they go after opportunity like this, and if not a scam - all the power to them. With 3d printing we get so many more cool kits out, its unreal. There are so many never released European designs for ships, frankly its sad no body in europe makes the effort to monetise it. I know we all love heller/airfix/revell releases of the same kits from 30 years ago but little more fresh kits wouldnt hurt.

Luckily, because of 3D printing, there are now also plenty of released kits of European ships (see this thread).

New from Gaga in 1/700 and 1/350 scale:

US guided missile destroyer USS Charles F. Adams (DDG-2)

Mind sharing some examples? Aside from the obligatory Nelson class that everybody wants (and a brand new one has just been released by 3D-Wild), I would really be interested to know in what the modellers here would like to see.
I do already have a rough idea myself of what's needed, but aside from a few obvious picks like the Town class or HMS Furious, I'm genuinely curious to know what you'd expect to see vs what we think would be most commercially viable.

For the mods/admins: if this is not the place to pose such a question I apologize, I will make a separate thread if that is the case. I felt the question needed to be asked here.

Well, there are the polls that have been ongoing for over a decade in the Manufacturers and Suppliers section:
viewforum.php?f=82

Need to be updated, but still fairly pertinent.

Thanks, didn't know that was still a thing.

Well, SSmodels released a bunch of WWII and post WWII Italian subjects in scales including 1/350
WWII heavy cruisers Trento and Bolzano plus the previous smaller classes and is now releasing post war DDs like the Indomito Class.

Quite a bit more affordable than anything output by 3DWild.
