Well Ive seen it now.

I kinda like the oil canning effect on the hull. Unlike overscaled plating on ww2 ships, her it looks pretty subtle on the render.

I think the depth of the effect is ok but each individual panel is too large (i.e. when compared to the reference photo they have). Imo this sort of thing looks a lot better when its just painted on. It seems like border is experimenting a lot with surface effects in general as they have also done stressed skin effects on aircraft to a mixed reception.

No, it's Dali Models. They've already released an Arizona and USS Smith in 1/350.

You can see the instructions for the previously released AZ and Smith in the photo.

if it is the Arizona model that I am thinking about which had an issue with the shape of the stern armor belt then I wonder if they did the same on the Pennsylvania?

Trumpeter finally getting around to releasing

Tirpitz in 1/200

Hi All,

Thanks for the Tirpitz update, I think that release has been in the offing for a long while, before the pandemic?

Ive been hoping to see it and hopefully it will be available very soon, but I wont hold my breath!

Would love tp see a 200th scale KGV and Prinz Eugen to finish off their Bismarck/Hood/Rodney theme.

Best wishes
Cag.
