Nice! Finally a potential subject for my Turkish reference books.

That one will also be released. In fact the render shows the Mecidiye, rather than Prut, since the had different guns.

Hi Vladimir,

what is the release date of the Hoche and the Virbus ?

Cheers

Thank you for the information concerning upcoming releases. Does Combrig have plans to re-release the two 1/700 USS Porter kits in the near future?

I've asked about the porters, and they said that they are in the process of re-releasing them. So they should be available very soon.

Hi Vladimir,

Cheers

Hoche should be out in a couple of months in both scales. Viribus Unitis is only in the process of being cut, so most likely release date for it is the end of this or the beginning of the next year.

I'm looking forward to the Turkish cruiser. I'll buy one as soon as it is ready.

We've finally released three Poltavas in 1/350th:

Would it be possible to get a translation of the ship details on the instruction sheet for Rurik? I think I have made out 'Vickers' and 'Barrow'.

I have put some photos of the builder's model, of Rurik, in my Photobucket album, if anyone is interested.

The nameplate on the builder's model case.

Niiiiice! Both kits and the photo of a plate!

Rurik was built at Vickers @ Barrow

The plate could be translated as:
Armoured cruiser 1 rate
Rurik
built for
russian imperial navy

vickers, sons and maxim
Barrow in Furness

Any word on where New Zealand fits into the release schedule? Not like I don't have a bazillion kits in the stash, but this release is one I'm eagerly anticipating.

Looks like in the 1/700 New Zealand will be released in June and the 1/350th scale in September. The same goes for most of the other delayed models from last year.

Any news on the HMS Lord Nelson battleship ?
Thanks in advance.

[Geoff B]

Is their any news on the 1/700 Project 82 Stalingrad post war battleship, as that looks to be a very interesting project that appears to be stuck in limbo.
