Excellent. Will there one of those awesome detail sets for it? Or a deluxe version with the kit and detail set in one box?

Hey. A very beautiful cruiser. It�s a pity that this is not my topic .. but for now I�ll wait for my HMS Renown 1/350 , I�ll probably be quite old

.. even the dates are unknown about him

That is a terrific Model - I wish your next issue would be the 1/350 IJN Taiho Carrier , only can only dream ��..

Was lucky enough to see this at the Beaver Booth at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show. Really a lot of detail molded into it.
Looks good even without the PE.

One question, what factors prevent molding a solid hull? Its not a big deal but I am curious.

Thanks

It appears that Freetime Hobbies has shipped my order out to me. Looking forward to the kit.

Pre-ordered my Salem when it was announced, and I received it yesterday. A beautiful kit and well worth the wait. I'm very eager to see what gets released next!

Thank you, Ivan.
We are now focusing on our 1/350 USN cruisers, but I think it won't take a long time to see the 1/350 HMS Renown.

I hope we can announce and release our next kits this year, perhaps before Black Friday and Christmas.

Molding techniques I think, but you should also consider time in your calculation.

Nice kit but wrong scale for me.
Any new 1/700 scale kits on the way? Really enjoyed Montana and H-39. Any chance of the British design for the Lion class battleship of WW II era?

I just received the Salem. Excellent kit! I really appreciate the effort to minimize photo etch for those of us that struggle with PE. I�m very excited about the upcoming Cleveland.
Thanks
Joe

Many thanks.
Maybe USS Midway class will be the next.

Can you give a possible time line for release or details about your plans for the IJN Taiho in 1/350 please ?
I want this ship far , far more than a Renown or Vanguard - as you are aware its never been released
in injection plastic in 1/350 scale -

I also am interested in your King George V - as a competitor for the Flyhawk Prince of Wales

Hi, 73north. I think we still have to discuss with our partner about the 1/350 IJN cruisers and aircraft-carriers, so I cannot tell you anything about the 1/350 IJN Taiho.

Sign me up for a 1/350 USS Cleveland! Early or later war doesn't matter to me.
