Starling models algerine class sweeper
Starling models 1/350 scale Algerine class sweeper.
I got mine yesterday(Friday),and it is a cracker.
All parts very cleanly moulded with a very good instruction booklet,
which contains 3 different camo schemes.
Very many congratulations to Mike of Starling models and Peter Hall
of Atlantic models,for producing a great kit.

Re: Starling models algerine class sweeper
Mike informs me that he hopes to get out
before christmas a 1/350 scale river class frigate.
If that goes well he will produce in 1/700 and 1/350
scale grimsby class sloop!
I will know more when I meet up with him at Telford
11th november.

Put me down for both in 1/350 scale.
And there goes the budget. Again.

Oh, I agree ! Both excellent choices, especially in 1/350th scale.
The River class, in particular, has lots of conversion possibilities.
(And, eventually, he might be encouraged to produce a Loch / Bay class frigate. )

Re: Starling models algerine class sweeper
The 1/350 River class frigate will be available early in 2018.
Work is starting soon on the 1/700 Grimsby class to be followed by a 1/350 version.
Hopefully these will not be the only kits released by Starling Models in 2018, there are plans for future kits but all depends on how well they sell!
