The caption he wrote for the Enterprise painting indeed says it's a 1/350 boxart. Presumably for Trumpeter. I'm not adding it to the list until I see confirmation elsewhere, though.

Is there a link for the painting with the caption?

Caption says very early 1943, but that's wrong based on the aircraft--the striped rudders and star-with-meatball disappeared in early '42.

Thanks Timmy - Yes it does and then some! Steve G.

Well spotted, John. Yet most of the a/c are strangely marked, in that all I can see have the rudder stripes but only one ('way forward) shows red centers to the stars.
Whatever, it certainly doesn't add up to early '43. I hope the artist isn't relying on Trumpy's research

A non sponsor of this site (but one that gives excellent service) has a Trumpeter 1/700 Dreadnought listed as a pre-order. How does the 1/350 Dreadnought look as I would guess that this is a scaled down version?

Oh! This would be AWESOME!!!! Maybe they incorporated the changes they made to the 200 scale Hornet hull.

Hmmm....

I wonder if this is why Brandon shelved his 350 resin CV5/6 hull project???

The world wonders...

Yummi!

Just after the Pit Road version is discontinued.

Will be getting one for sure.

So it will be the Kaiten transport?

Guess so, though I would like an option for a TW.

1/350 Battleship New York coming out from Trumpeter in September!!!

Upcoming Releases, Sept. 2014, Trumpeter site

Interesting, I wonder what fit the kit will be in, I'd prefer as built/WW1 myself.

If you click at the Trumpeter link at my original post, you'll see a picture that may answer your question. (and shows it is definitely not World War One fit)

Sadly, apparently so. I gave up on the site loading earlier ,so lived in hope. What fit is it, her final appearance?

Fujimi 1/350 Kaga will be an incredible build, thanks for mentioning, been waiting near 30 years for something like this! Wonder if Fujimi will accompany release with wood deck, decals, photo etch? Any news on this, Fujimi distributors?

I don't see why they won't - they've done it for all their other kits, so this should be no different.

I usually buy the first release, then go 'D'oh!' when the DX version comes out. Do the DX version have all the PE/wood deck bits in the box, or just the PE? Kinda curious, cause if it has everything, I just might wait for the DX version to come out instead....
