Are you planning anything for the Fujimi JMSDF Hyuga/Ise kits and Trumpeter JMSDF kits?

Will this fit the Dragon models kit?

You mean the Bronco kit? I am not aware of a Dragon kit.

It's the Bronco kit, Dragon doesn't have a New York model.
I think mostly of the PE will fit, but we'll wait for Kim's response

The Bronco kit is also sold under Cyber Hobbies, which is of course a Dragon subsidiary - perhaps that's what he's referring to.

Oh well I didn't know that there was a 5th boxing of the same ship

But still if you have the chance, I think the Trumpeter/Gallery models/Revell is a better choice.

This set can be applied for Trumpeter/Revell/MRC(Gallery Models) LPD-21 kit.

Please do not do for Bronko's.

Thank you
Kim

Are you doing a set for the Bronco kit? I scanned this thread but didn't see mention of it.

Lemme make sure I have this correct; Pontos Models is going to due one of their amazing sets for the Fujimi 1/350 JMSDF Helicopter Destroyers DDH-181 and DDH-182? Really? This is the best news I've heard all day. I have the Hyuga kit and I think I'll have to go get myself the Ise DDH-182 to go with it now.....

Horses for courses. I believe the Bronco is a better choice as the hull is cut in a way for easy waterline display if you choose to do so. It is also cheaper.

Since i'm building only full hull and the price is not a problem, Trumpeter is a better option for me, I like it better somehow, better surface details and more details.

But Bronco is a good option for sure. I still think that with a little work the PE set would fit to a Bronco.

Well I am sorry that we have no plan to release LPD set for Bronco kit.
If Bronco sends us 3 LPD sets for drawing and releasing, we would consider.

Thank you
Kim

Hi Kim,

Is it possible just to buy the Scribed Brass 54 parts only from this set please? They'd be perfect for the Broco kit.

Thanks

Tony

Practically it is hard to supply some parts only.
And almost our brass parts combinated with PE.

But although we've not tested to fit to Bronco's yet, it may be possible some can be applied to Bronco's too.

Thank you
Kim

Hello from Germany!

I used Pontos San Antonio set already for my Revell (=Gallery,MRC...) USS New Yorck and have o say, it fits perfect and it's a lot of fun!!!
As I also have Broncos kit at home, I think it would be possible to use some of Pontos PE parts for that kit, as well, but these two kits differ a lot!!! For sure you could use f.e. the nettings around the flightdeck (although the dimensions a little bit different), most parts of deck-details (boat-supports,...) and the crane; at least in parts (plastic base part of the crane differs a lot). It will be harder to use railing, grills, PE flightdeck, catwalks, etc.. because of all the differences between the kits.
If anyone is intefested in, I can send by mail pictures comparing both kits and maybe of my finished USS New Yorck, too. ...and if anybody is willing to publish these pictures here, he could do it, too.

Best regards
Wolfgang

Will I need a 5.5 "Five Speed" Hold and fold for this set, or will my "Bug" RTH from the small shop get the job done?

Just don't want to buy another tool that I really don't have a need for right now otherwise...

Well we've tried to design all the PE paets to be bented easily.
So on the applied sample, we've used only Flat nose plier and sharpen tweezers.

Thank you
