Nagato and Kongo have what looks like impressive box art so can't be far off. Plus Vanguard and Renown. So let Renown wars start lol

Please pray for my wallet lol

Model Rectifier Corporation sent an email saying these kits will all be available for purchase this month (April '26). I had heard of everything but the 350 Pola.

It would be nice if we could have all four of those Cruisers in 1/700 as well.

Considering the quality of Very Fire recent releases, Trumpeter being Trumpeter and their NC being 20 years old, this is going to be just a different league. Heck, even a different sport.

Renders alone were enough to put my money on the table.

I'm still hoping someone will release the cash cow that is a 1/200 or 1/350 1980s New Jersey

The 1943-1945 round bridge variant will never see the light of day.

A 1/200 model of a 80s New Jersey would be awesome - but a vietnam war variant would be even better IMHO - and not done yet in any scale.

But for all 200-scale fans, something else has appeared quitely on several onlineshops: I Love Kit / Merrit will release a 1/200 Ticonderoga class cruiser USS Mobile Bay this year. Couldn't wait for it, so I just dropped a pre-order. I was always attracted by the 1/200 scale Arleigh-Burkes but a Tico is even better.
