Thanks. I have the repop that someone did of the Tamiya Prince of Wales, I forget the name. It isn't quite up to standard Tamiya quality, so your set will really dress it up and correct those little deficiencies. Minihobby? I forget, but its the Tamiya POW kit under someone else's label.

Hi Kim

What do you think about releasing PE for Fujimi's Yamashiro 1/350, maybe 1944 version?
Fujimi's PE aren't good enough. With Pontosmodel Detail Up Set it would be one of the most wanted kits.

best
Tom

As for the IJN, the Kongo Class is prior to Yamashiro.

Thank you
Kim

Hi Mr Kim
Do you have a major problem on your website???

Prince of Wales etc is shown as TBA (not available) with no link to be able to download the instruction sheets - yet on this section there is a link to be able to do so (and it works).
Surely anybody who was looking at your site only would get the impression that these kits have never been produced.

I am hoping this means that Pontos will FINALLY be keeping it's promise to deliver the 1/350 Revell Bismarck set.

Heller DKM Admiral Scheer 1:400
Revell DKM Schnellboot S-100 1:72

and that promise was dated September of LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

KGV Class detail pages is now under construction for updates.
For personal request, we can show the links. So please contact via email.

We've already started 1/350 Revell Bismarck from last year. But the main problem is new products that we had not thoughts have been released and have cut in this Bismarck (and more WWII Iowa class for Tamiya) schedule.
Anyway 1/350 Bismarck and Iowa follows after 1/200 series.
Hope we can pull down these two kits from our storage shelves as soon as possible.

Thank you
Kim

Hi Kim, any news on the quad Pom Pom?

Thanks.

EDIT: I originally typed Bofors intead of Pom Pom, sorry for the confusion!

That would be a quad pompom I presume?

Correct! Thanks EJ, I was looking at the Hazemeyer Bofors in Battle class destroyers before I posted and it must have stuck.
Thanks for the correction.

I will try to design and make quad pompom soon.
A small PE may be enough and we will distribute this only with actual shipping cost 1USD to our 35015F1 Prince of Wasles owner.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the reply. I am disappointed that it won't be available as a separate item to buy.
Have you thought about doing a p/e and brass set (including the quad pom pom) for the Trumpeter 1/350 Tribal destroyers as they need some help? They come with an eight barrelled pom pom which should be a quad.

Well there have been too many askings to release 1/350 20mm Oerlikon single/Twin 25mm IJN single/Twin/triple 8 pompom /quad Pompom and same for 1/200 and so on that were developed already by Pontos.

But now we are focusing on firstly on the full detail sets promised to you.
So just wait some more for these unit sets.

Thank you
Keumho Kim

Hi Kim,
Sorry, every time you make something, I ask for something more! As the Americans say, I am like a "kid in a candy store".
