I think this thread seems to be losing its way. Page 1 is out of date. Example – flyhawk have already released HMS formidable (in 2023) and HMS Achilles (in 2024)!
Agree, I mentioned it above then went back to the list and noticed several more 1/350 kits missing.
Who is in a position to update the list?
Hey, the new 1/350 scale FLETCHER kits from iLove arrived at my house from Squadron (pre-ordered) today. Squadron made no announcement online that these kits had arrived.
They look much like the USS STEVENS kit in basic hull and bridge details. The aft deckhouses are different from STEVENS as to be expected.
This kit has the over scaled "armor-belt" on the full hull only option, like seen on the STEVENS kit. I'm going to use now surplus Trumpeter waterline hulls, which the iLove decks fit with little trim at the fantail, on my builds.
I notice that the font page doesn't list any of the iLove 1/350 scale FLETCHER kits,
USS STEVENS (DD-476) and USS FLETCHER (DD-445) have ben released and available.
I saw a notice on the HLJ website* that the 1/350 scale THE SULLIVANS (DD-537) in WWII configuration (Anti-Kamikaze configuration and MAYBE the five twin 40-mm mounts configuration in one box was mentioned, but parts layout doesn't confirm this) was released at the end of August 2026. Some retail sources estimate availability in October 2026.
