When does Ark Royal III get here

January in Japan, so probably early February for elsewhere.

De quoi s'agit-il?

The 2015 Zvezda catalogue announcement was withdrawn and then reissued showing, as far as I can see, a 1/720th HOOD instead. The boxart strongly resembles the old Italeri issue of a 1930s version.

Good to see the 1/350 Marat is still on the list!

Trumpy will release
1/350 both Nelson and Roney
1/700 Belfast 1942 & 1953
1/700 Dreadnought 1915 & 1918
1/700 QE 1941

also have 1/350 Alaska Class CB-1 to CB-3

Not to mention the 1/350 CV-6 Enterprise (hopefully late war, picture is not clear enough) and 1/350 CV-67 JF Kennedy.

This is a clear and present danger to savings I had planned for next year.

1/350 Enterprise CV-6, Alaska and Marat, that will make me happy. Hoping that the Enterprise will be in late war fit.

Please also see the attached. Royal navy aircraft Swordfish and Fulmar in 1/350!
I'm suspect trumpy will release Royal Navy's carrier in 1/350 in the future

And Blackburn Skua suggesting early war period.

.

Yes, almost certainly "the Ark" - but whether for a Trumpeter version of to add to the rumoured other version - who can tell ?

.

That'll be the 1/350 Ark Royal we heard about last year.

Still....

No word of Mirage Hobby 1:350 ORP Minesweeper 1935 and Raumboat Putzig 1942?

Any news on these venerable kits?

Kind regards,

Henk

Rerelease from matchbox ariadne 1/700 by revell on its way!
Should be waterline only.

Kind regards,
Henk

.

Revell will be releasing a new mould 1/144th "Early" Flower Class Corvette (PRESUMABLY short forecastle).

.

I can confirm the old Matchbox kit was waterline only.

Horribly-fitting kit. The only real option for Ariadne or Abdiel was Hi-Mold/Pit Road's resin release of these kits.

Anybody here read Japanese?

I usual go to this site to see new anime kits, but this is the first time I've heard of anything military from MaxFactory...
