A 3d-printed 1/700 British Colossus class light fleet carrier is now available from the Shapeways vendor C.O.B. Constructs and Miniatures, for those unwilling to wait for IHP's announced Colossus class CVL kit, or want a cheaper option than the L'Arsenal resin kits of the class.

As suggested in the embedded link above, one can presumably also use this to make Colossus class CVLs in non-British service, such as the first Canadian aircraft carrier HMCS Warrior.

A 1/700 model of the Canadian version of the Type 26 by Dutch Fleet Naval Miniatures on Shapeways:

https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZVNL2QGN3/type-26-csc?optionId=93890016&li=marketplace

It is also available in a proper printing quality not only White Natural Versatile Plastic.

YES! I've been waiting for this version of the Type 26! I was annoyed that maybe those who wanted the Canadian version had to modify British Type 26 version from Dutch Fleet Naval Miniatures.

The distinct Australian Type 26/Hunter class frigate version (with the Aussie Kangaroo marking as you can see in the pic) is also available from DFNM.

The COB models are White Natural Versatile Plastic which isn't very good and they are rescales of 1/1800 models so they lack detail. They were meant for gaming not display. While you would save money you would have a very crude looking model.

Don't get too excited - the CSC design is still being finalized and existing models and CGI graphics don't necessarily reflect what would come out when the design process is completed later this year.

And there could be significant changes between the design and the completed ship, see e.g. USS Zumwalt.

It would be cool, if this design will be realized for some navy.

This is the first ship of seven ships of the Restigouche-Klasse in her original fit. Compared to the earlier St. Laurent class the Restigouche class has a higher bridge and a British 3" twin turret (the same turret as was used for the British cruisers of the Tiger class).
