Pontosmodel 1/350 HMS King George V Class Detail Up Sets

[Admiral John Byng]

Hi Kim, I hope you will replace the plastic "blobs" that are meant to be the MkV twin 20mm guns on KGV?

Hi Kim, I hope you will replace the plastic "blobs" that are meant to be the MkV twin 20mm guns on KGV?

Late versions will have this twin 20mm at least brass barrels.
At thsi time we are focusing on Early versions of KGV class 1/350 Tamiya PoW kit based not KGV kit.

Thank you
Kim

I don't understand the meaning of "distinctive disruptive patterns".

That is the camouflage, which is quite complex for 1941.

Thanks. I fully understand this meaning...

Anyway we decided to add all various Vents with resin or Turned brass parts replacing rectangle or circular(Mushroom) type shape kit vents on the deck.

Im so excited by this upgrade for the duke of york that I finally got around to getting my ipms membership, registered here and booked my travel arrangements to go up to telford

I also had a question about the vents and the wood decking. Will the deck come pre drilled to fit the vents for the respective ship or is the wood deck a generic fit to all in the class?

Thanks

Yep hope to meet you at the show.
As for the vent,
we would add 4 size of sqaure vents with resin and some mushroom vents as turned brass parts with some more extra quantities.
Of course main Bitts will be added as turned brass(please refer our Iowa class or Sevastopol Bitts at related forum topics)
And as you may see, almost vents are in wrong location at Tamiya deck.
And more each sister has own vent locations.
So we will try indicate these locations only on the instruction manual based on our research.
But our research may not be perfect, so we will not engrave the vent locations on the real wooden deck. This means you should cut off all plastic kit vents before applying wooden deck.
So anyway KGV masters can realize the vents on their wishing points.

I am sure this is what you wish too.

Thank you
Kim

This is brilliant news.

I was hoping you were going to use the PoW kit to produce a 1941 KGV at the time of the sinking of the Bismarck. A DoY at the time of the sinking of the Scharnhorst too, is more than I hoped for.

My next build, after my Warspite and Pontosmodel was going to be a 1/350 Liberty ship, but if this set is out in time, I shall be going straight in to building the KGV using my Tamiya PoW.

Kim, I bought some WEM UP projectors to convert my PoW to KGV, but they really aren`t that well detailed. Will you be producing these in resin and PE?

Regards, Dave.

All the HMS modellers have same Idea...
I will make your next project be KGV waiting Bismarck or DoY just before Being Hit by Schharnhorst.

Thank you
Kim

Mr Kim, it seems Dave's question at the end of his post was missed, do you intend to reproduce the UP mounts ?

BTW, your sets are very very nice.

[angeleyes]

Are you going for a PoW as well?

Yep we have plan to realize these UP mountings for KGV 1941 version and PoW though not included in DoY 1943.
One of Full resin, Resin+PE or FUll PE may be selected for this UP mountings realization.

Thank you
Kim

[Pontosmodel]

Are you going for a PoW as well?

Yep,
But at the SMW 2012 we will bring only DoY 1943 as IPMS special.

Thank you
Kim

I would prefer resin+ pe but I realise it depends on how they can best be manufactured.

Yep I will listen more and more from U.K. modellers until by Telford for this matter.
And will decide what is the best. and now getting drawing or information of this.

Thank you
Kim

When will the early KGV be available for mail order? Thanks, Rich

Any news, Views of the Duke of York set?

[kidcurrie42]

What is happening with these sets, all seems to have gone very quiet????????????

[Admiral John Byng]

Any news, Views of the Duke of York set?

Yes, I am waiting with baited breath to see it too!

[Christian M.]

Duke of York set was shown in Telford on model, member mima (Michael) made a picture of it. I guess it will come soon - available to buy in Telford as set for Sevastopol it was not.

Cheers,
Christian

Thank you all who have been interested in and have reserved our KGV class at Telford.
Just back from Telford tour.
The final sample version of Duke of York 1943 version has been shown at the SMW 2012 Telford.
I think we will release the DoY1943 version first within this month and the formal releasing date will be open soon.
KGV 1941 and PoW also release step by step from December.

We will ship first to who have reserved at the show.
And next shipping is to our dealers and distributors.

Hope you can get these before Christmas holidays adn we will do our best for this.

And we will post processing photos soon.

Thank you
Kim

Would like to see those photos...

Kim:

Any chance of releasing the PoW, KGV, and DoY upgrade sets in 1/700 scale as well? It think there would be much demand for this.

Likewise, 1/700 upgrade and accurizing sets for the Tamiya 1/700 Rodney and Nelson in mid-war fit for each. I think these would be VERY popular...

Thanks for all you are doing for the hobby!
