HMS Queen Elizabeth in 1/350 is coming this February by Trumpeter according to Model Shipwrights site.

And 1/700 HMS Queen Elizabeth 1918 in December according to the Trumpeter's site.

HMS Queen Elizabeth in 1/350 is coming this February by Trumpeter according to Model Shipwrights site.

Actually, they quote a Steven's International release as the source of their information. Steven's is an importer of Trumpeter product into the USA.

[Atma]

So let get this straight.
We all know/knew the 1/350 Academy's HMS Warspite
The upcoming 1941 1/350 HMS Queen Elizabeth, link:http://www.freetimehobbies.com/TRP5324.aspx
and the 1918 1/700 Trumpeter's HMS Queen Elizabeth, link:http://www.trumpeter-china.com/a/en/new ... /1989.html

And suddenly, what is that ?


Again one more HMS Warspite in 1/350 this time by Trumpeter ? Again a case of what Graf Spee is better, Academy's or Trumpeter's ?
Trumpeter if wanted to expand the HMS Queen Elizabeth class a HMS Barham will be a better sale for them, as already lot of people have already got/preorder the Academy's HMS Warspite.

[Quincy]

Yes! And it would be even better if they make a Barham, Warspite, and QE in 1/700! All in their WW2 fits to boot!!!!!!!!!

I prefer th 1918 HMS Queen Elizabeth over any WW2 version.

[Quincy]

To each there own then.

Stunning 1/350 Academy Warspite added to the gallery here.

[Atma]

Unlike Academy, Im sure we will see the Trumpeter's 1/350 kits in the 1/700 scale too.

Does anybody know were i can find a a good drawing of Hms Warspite hull plating . The Acadamy kit has not modeled this , so i will be adding myself. I have anatomy warspite but it is not shown clearly in any photo or drawing ... Thanks

[EJFoeth]

Try the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The website is the world's largest maze and searching is futile; ask them what they have and you'll receive a quotation.

[MartinL]

Yep i think i need to take a drive up there and have a word with them. I am only an hour away and can take a shoping list , It is nearly christmas

The NMM's Ships' Plans and drawings are held at the Brass Foundry building on the old Woolwich Arsenal site. They only allow one visitor per day and you need to pre-book. The best solution is to think out exactly what you might want (AND the scale(s) which would be most use) and then give them a ring via the NMM's main phone number asking for "the Brass Foundry" or "Ships Plans".

Hello!

There is a scale drawing of her hull plating in the anatomy book. I don`t remember the page number.
I will search it later.

Here is HMS Queen Elizabeth 1918 in 1/700 from Trumpeter:

And the 1941 HMS Queen Elizabeth in 1/350 also from Trumpeter:

Enjoy !

[Ady]

Oh mamma! Only three months to wait.

[CWatson]

How does the WWI QE differ from other ships of her class in that era?
