The Ship Model Forum

To the best of my knowledge, Tirpitz, Cossack (Tribal class), and Martin (M class) are all new announcements. All very welcome!!

The big new release is the appearance in the catalogue of the 1/350 Scale HMS Prince of Wales
( although announced back in 2018 )

Just hope that its not delayed for years

I just hope Covid restrictions are relaxed enough to actually get any of the projected releases this year.

Which restrictions are relevant for FlyHawk's kits? I assume that their development and production is running completely normal, as most of Chinese economy is.

I wasn't going to get this, if it's like Flyhawk's 1/700 I will have no choice especially if it's her as sunk fit.

woo hoo my Flyhawk Illustrious has been shipped,Ive recieved Flyhawk Royal navy aircraft so have a good complement of swordfish for her
A question on the 1/350 Intrepid is that a re - release of earlier model?

Cheers

C'mon Flyhawk Moltke!

I wonder if Flyhawk has any logic to the stuff they show in their future releases.

Some years they have CAD "drawings" of ships that are to be released. One would think that it should indicate that the ships is soon to be released since they have taken the time to make a CAD drawing. But then the ship disapears and something else appears that is released instead. I think it is odd.

Agreed. In 1/700 this only 3.6" long. Would love to see 1/350!

1/700 USS Maine ACR-1 (Combrig)

This is pretty small, and Deutschland was a large Uboat. It would have been thoughtful for Flyhawk to have included another type of Uboat in the same kit.
BTW, except for the two 15 cm deck guns and torpedo tubes (which, as waterlined, would not be visible anyway) were there any other external structural differences when in service as U-155 (thinking conversion)?

Trumpeter 1/200th Scharnhorst now showing the sprues:

aaaand again, a new scheme. I always wonder if this is because they want to be different to others or they legit done some deep research and this is the latest. What is the source? We dont know, just have to take their word for it.

Just building:

Half hulls. I think I could see myself buying the 1/700 SoDak and getting trumpeter lower half for it to make a decent model. Always liked SoDak, they were probably prettiest ones of the US modern battleships (with North Carolina), Bismarkc Like but more tighter in their profile, and - beautiful.
