*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[biggles2]

I've seen 1/700 models with sharper and cleaner detailing than that!

Actually... there's a lot worth considering here. It has the deck planking absent from the Trumpeter kit, and note how it has the hull bulges as separate pieces - and I think I see a flat funnel cap among the pieces. If you're interested in building the GZ as if she completed in 1940, this might be an easier place to start than the Trumpeter kit.

Open box very fire 1/350 Graf Zeppelin

I am impressed! Why would they produce such kits with such bad molding? Quite a junk kit and indeed no better than the Tamiya rip offs like Minihobby KGVs... On the bright side, one might not need to do much to represent the 'battle damage' on one of these kits!

Anyway if it's cheap, then it worths the quality.

Well, my thoughts:

IF....you explicit want to build a 1940 Graf zeppelin......ok�

But when i look carefully at the pics and see how crude the plastic parts are...
you have to use an sander to get the parts flat.
I think this kit is coming from C.C. LEE, notorious for there moulding
and suspect them using CONCRETE for their moulds .

Anyone who can give some more know how about the manyfacturer ??

Would that pic contain both german ww2 aircraftcarriers, the 1/700 rodney or nelson in progress and the 1/700 new york class in progress?

Kind regards,

Oh Dear !

I think you need new glasses - if you can't recognise "The Ark" you need an extensive course in ship i.d..

[henk]

Thanks for clearing that up...
Nope Just not as much in aircraft carriers.

one can't know it all

Cheers

[Jack G]

Well, anyway...

Please little birds, tell me more about a 1/350 all gun Hyuga....

Maybe we can speculate it into existence

[Plasma_Frigate]

Oh dear. The only offering from ICM is a 1:700 of GroBer Kurfurst, a ship which they already have in 1:350. ICM really have a bee in their bonnet about the Konig class battleships don't they?

[Heavy Melder]

+ 1 more. I must say I have never understood why Fujimi did not issue it. From Ise, it was a modification, most of the kit was ready ...

[Miguel]

Now it is turn for the 1/350 Trumpeter CV 4 Ranger and the 1/350 Hobby Boss Condorcet



again ...a couple of months to be available , I wish the 1/350 Rodnol will be the next

[Heavy Melder]

Really hoping they don't screw up the Ranger. At least not too badly....

[Quaestor]

Really hoping they don't screw up the Ranger. At least not too badly....

REALLY hoping they then scale it down by 1/2.

[MatthewB]

Ditto.
