*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[73north]

will trumpeter release 1/700 viribus unitis one day?

The Viribus Unitis is now on display ( in 1/350 Scale ) at the Japan Model & Hobby Show 2019 - all ready to build by the looks
this is the photo From the Trumpeter Model Stand posted on Facebook today - along with the Bismarck in 1/350 scale

I will say I don't know what the unknown ship is ( a cruiser in 1/350 Scale )
I thought it was Gorizia or the Fiume - but they had no deck torpedo tubes .

Viribis Unitis is a superb addition, I really hope to see it in 1/700 in Full Hull one day. They are very attractive boats!

That is an RN C class AA cruiser, more specifically Cairo class!

Yee-ha! Still waiting for HMS Kent in the UK.

...... And it will do even better once the aircraft are ready for future runs.

Will you provide the aircraft as separate items ?

.

That's the plan, yes.

Some much higher-resolution photos of those new Trumpeter kits at the All Japan show:

And the long-awaited Flyhawk Agincourt finally shows its face! Great to see it's the version with both tripod masts, though sad that it's without the elevated boat deck amidships: https://twitter.com/HobbylandOsaka/stat ... 1282855936

I haven't received Scharnhorst yet and there's another Flyhawk kit coming!!

When it rains, it pours!

So, which will be the default 1/350 Bismarck kit to go to during the next 5 years? Or will the Revell one still hold the crown in terms of accuracy etc?
I really need to build one before it becomes outdated. I've already bought and sold a Tamiya one in favour of the Revell item.
Time to get building methinks!

[Strategos Augustus]

I need this as much as water or air:

Very welcome, as intimated earlier. Also noted is the box for HMS Kent adjacent to the Cairo. RN Cruisers on a roll.

Just noticed that Flyhawk has gone back to designing the upper hull in two halves similar to their initial kits of Lutzow, and Derfflinger. Wonder if they started design on Agincourt way back then!

Delighted - I am really happy that this new release is identified
( I couldn't easily do this due to the poor resolution of the photo )

I am also happy that the Royal Navy is getting the love it deserves , finally

So nothing new from Trumpeter in 1/700?

I'd like to see the damn Tashkent scaled down, pronto!
(Then again, I'm still waiting for them to do the same with their RM cruisers)

[steviecee]

to bad the Cairo isn't in 1/700

[embarked]

Trumpeter hasn't done anything in WW2 1/700 for years. The Belfast never came and there are numerous 1/350 subjects that could be scaled down. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they only do modern warships in 1/700 now.

[embarked]

Correcting myself, USS Texas was only a couple of years ago.

[maxim]

Trumpeter has also not released many of its 1/350 kits of modern ships in 1/700.

[Timmy C]

They scaled down their 1/350 CV-6 Enterprise to 1/700 Yorktown and Enterprise to replace the old 2000s molds.

The Nelson class is another.

Graf Zeppelin.

And Ark Royal.

And Dreadnought.
