*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[Littorio]

It seems an odd mixture of extra parts :4 hull parts, elevating main guns, and simple superstructure. But maybe that is simply the CAD.

I assume the 29 next to the name indicates fit is for 1929.

29 was Rodney's pennant number

The rumoured Agincourt was indeed Flyhawk. It's been on the list for ages, and there's been no more updates about it.

Hannant's lists a 1:700 Konig as a "Future Release" from a company called Master Box (in fact they list the whole class under a "Battle of Jutland series"). The company seems to be a Ukrainian kit maker that mainly does figures and armor, I cannot find any mention anywhere else of these Jutland Konig class kits. Anyone know more?

EDIT:

From their own website, scroll to the bottom:

"We plan to produce models of all the ships from both the English and German fleets, which took part in the Battle of Jutland."

Must be my memory then. Thanks Timmy.

Vlad: The MasterBox list has been on their website for the last few years. Although I've kept them on my list, reports were their molds had been damaged sometime in the intervening years and there's no update on when/if they'll be released.

The only 1/700 Konig I expect anytime soon is ICM's, which was added to their catalog only this year.

Thanks Timmy, I wasn't aware they were already known about I just spotted the listings while browsing Hannant's. Looks like we may as well shelve our hopes on that one!

So I am seeing on Cybermodeler that Trumpeter is advertising a 1/48 Type VII, and advertising it is the first kit of this type in this scale. Did the ARK model kit not go into production? Or, is this just a re-box of that kit?

[carrierdeck]

Hello There.
Scale maybe the same, but are two completely different kits.
ARK model is a RC Model !
Trumpeter is a static display kit with complete interior.
greetings Chris

[krgf15]

Do you have a link that shows that? ARK models offers a static display version also.

Sorry, I meant the Trumpeter kit.

[Guest]

Hello ,

here is an article about this new coming model

Tip: get a towel under your chin when drooling.........

I will certainly get one, no doubt, some other kits will have to go however, not for the
bucks, but more for the space.......

greetings Chris

After this one I expect nothing less than a 1/35 version.

Any updates on that Cleveland/Brooklyn/Independence announced by Snowman Models?

I checked with his Facebook page. He said the Russian tender should be out later this year but no dates for any other kit.

I believe so... Whether 1/700 or 1/350, I'd still be buying the Cleveland. But I really hope that there will eventually be a new 1/350 or 1/200 Cleveland.

Whatever happened to the Showcase Models release of the 1/350 HMAS Vendetta?

[Timmy C]

Showcase's owner passed away on the eve of the kit's release; his spouse is attempting to bring it to fruition, but understandably it's been delayed.
