This link shows more info: http://www.flyhawkmodel.com/html/xwgg/20/07/2024.html

Produced by Sphyrna Models which might be a new sister company to Flyhawk like Kajika.
It also calls the company Hammerhead Shark Model Studio - which kinda makes sense since Sphyrna is the name of a family of Hammerhead sharks.

Bronco type 055 in 1/350 is not bad at all

One more to add to the list Trumpy needs to scale down to 1/700th

IHP is planning the cancelled 1966 British fleet carrier 'CVA-01' in plastic. We are taking pre-orders now. Pre-orders will determine whether or not we go ahead with the project. See the webpage for details and the pre-order link.

Looks like Flyhawk (and a certain Chinese ebay vendor) are going to get a lot more of my money!

[mikasa]

Invincible! Nice!

How long between when they put something on facebook and it shows up for sale?

I don't normally do 1/700 but for this one I'll make an exception.

I hope auroramodelshop or dawngrocerystore open in time for these kits. There's also Gneisenau and Scharnhorst 1940 to get! Those two stores always have the best prices!

I received an email from hobby search this AM offering it as available in September. Looks like there will be a standard version and a deluxe version with more? turned metal barrels and extra photoetch. I'm not sure, the turned metal barrels in the deluxe version look to be for the 4" guns and the 12pdr(? the guns on top of the turrets), but maybe the 8 guns are for the 12" but just depicted out of scale....

I noted that the Italian Navy Battleship RN Vittorio Veneto 1940 ( No.: 05320 ) in 1:350 Scale is now noted for release
in September 2020 , on the Trumpeter website page

[Tim Jacobs]

Speaking of "I Love Kits," Mega Hobby has 1/350 CV-67 USS JFK listed for sale.

https://www.megahobby.com/products/uss- ... e-kit.html

I didn't see it in the list on the 1st pg, assume because these are re-popped Trumpeter.

[Timmy C]

Exactly. I don't put repops on there unless there are new moulds involved (as far as I can know).

[Heavy Melder]

Umm guys anybody have any insight into this pre-order? a 1/350 US Navy LCT-6 from AFV Club??

....and PE detail set for it?

https://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?i ... AG%2035052

If this is true I sure as heck didn't see it coming.....

[Pb_Legend]

I just saw on scalemates that Meng is planning a 2020 release of USS Enterprise CV-6 in 1/700. No word yet on how it's fitted out, but I'd not be surprised if it's an early fit, with Meng's signature construction mode built in.
