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.

Cannot recognize the brand. Could be Snowman?

Was not a new tool Arizona recently released?
Nice to see a Pennsylvania though.

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?

[Killerbeans]

Prolly the same hull?

Trumpeter finally getting around to releasing

Tirpitz in 1/200

[Cag]

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.

+1 on Prinz Eugen. Such an elegant ship.

There are hints on Fakebook that Trumpeter may be releasing a 1/350 Angled Deck CV-41 Midway, not sure on what refit configuration.

Surprise from Aoshima! 1/700 injected two RN flower class corvettes plus two (?) U-boats.
Site says previously packaged with HMS Exeter in 2018.

[MorgenergyModels]

Fantastic news. I've been waiting for Aoshima to release those seperately, can see them doing very well indeed.

[steviecee]

I'll take three or 4 of them also

[Devin]

Trumpeter seems to be saying that they're releasing a 1/700 USS Langley CV-1 later this year.

Nice; but I'll wait for the 1942 as lost fit.
