Second link seems like a what if Japanese Design B-65 Battlecruiser or a Super Agano light cruiser.

The 1/2000 stuff from the last 3 links is sold under https://www.dameya.net/ (url spotted in the photos ). They have lots of different kits there - would try to order from them tonight.

[PetrolGator]

Hah! Was about to post a Twitter snapshot with information. Thanks for replying!

[maxim]

Any idea where to get these?
https://twitter.com/Azrail339/status/10 ... 94048?s=20

Does not look like 1/2000?

[PetrOs]

That looks more like 1/700. There are even prices listed for some kits if using auto translate... Best way would be to make a twitter account, and check if you can contact the guy, he seems to be very active.

Per discussions with the account, this model is a prototype and will be available shortly through the site listed.

[maxim]

Which site? https://www.dameya.net/?

Yeah. Apologies. Should have been more specific.

[maxim]

Thank you for confirming that!

A new 1/700 Iwo Jima class LPH is already available from Shapeways/Bills Models, as already posted in the "Calling all Iwo Jima class LPH fans" thread

[maxim]

That model is only available in the cheap, unsuitable quality - likely because of the size. For sure not a good replacement for the Pit-Road kit.

USS Kentucky (Iowa class) as anti-aircraft (BBAA) conversion in 1/700:

The model is similar to plastic kit - consisting of a lot of different parts.

Ho-lee mother-of-god!

That Mikasa looks phenomenal for whatever scale that is (looks like it might be 1/2400).

That is far better than the white-metal miniatures I have seen in even larger scales (such as 1/1200).

I want the entire IJN Fleet in that scale.
