Not quite, but close; see Timmy's list in the first post of this thread.
It's in 1/350th. IIRC, some of us were speculating that if they release that class of cruisers they'd likely scale them down too.

1/700th Hibiki on the way from Yamashita:

Not much detail yet, and the machine translation leaves something to be desired as always
Judging by their Fubuki kit, though, probably a must for me at least.

Meanwhile...here I am waiting for the 1/350 Atlanta...

I fear the kit is vaporware at this point.

[JM882059]

I would really like to see the Dragon 1/350 Atlanta too, I'm having the same fears. Does anyone have any news on that or the Merit 1/350 Alaska or the Trumpeter 1/350 Baltimore and Pittsburgh? I know the Baltimore and Pittsburgh were announced recently but 2016/2017 is such a large time frame to expect them in. I'm so excited over these models that I can't wait to get just one of them!

I just saw another IJN Destroyer, Fubuki-class, in 1/700, with Photo Etch.

I am guessing this is just the Fubuki, because the description says "Snowstorm" (which is what "Fubuki" means - "Blizzard"):

Edit: an update to the link shows that it IS the Fubuki.

Maybe now I can get just the PE for the kit for my other Yamashita Fubukis.

Flyhawk's Hermes is being released in May: Http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10381010

[Mark_J]

Does anyone know anything about "Snowman Model from China". The Berezina kit looks like a prototype, so they could be close to a release. Hopefully the new russian CVN and the Ulyanovsk turn out to be more than just a wish list. With Combrig releasing SSV-33 we Cold War nuts might get spoiled.

[chargerman]

They have a Facebook page but nothing listed yet.

Anyone heard any more about Australia's Showcase Models 1/350 DD kits?

CV-64 USS Constellation in 1/350 on latest Trumpeter update.

[Steve]

It appears the new 350 scale Trumpeter kit of the German CA Blucher will have the waterline option based on Hobby Search posted info and the Trumpeter announcement of the kit. Of course you could also arrive at the conclusion that the hull is split P/S.
