Any news as to whether a Hawaii will be produced (as announced) and if so, in what configuration ?

Merit/Trumpeter 1/350 Alaska test build:

I build waterline so it is not a deal breaker, but why did they copy that weird step in the stem which was a mistake of a old build of the Classic Warships kit? Makes me wonder what other mistakes might have carried over?

Still looking forward to it even though I am about 25% into a Blue Ridge kit,

Those were in last year's catalog already, so only boxart is new.

Could that SMS Seydlitz find itself released in 1/700?

[Chris Meddings]

well I was happy.

I'm told be a friend that works for Trumpeter/hobbyboss that once box art is done its near to release

[PetrOs]

I would love to see Lord Nelson class on my desk! Tasty! Condorcet is also cool! Seydlitz also sounds fantastic!

[Atma]

I never thought we will see Danton class French Pre-Dreadnoughts in PLASTIC ! This is the greatest news in 1/350 (IMO) since the release of Richelieu back in early 00's, again a French theme. We can safe say that this will be a blast,(SMS Seydlitz, HMS Lord Nelson, HMS Agamemnon, Strasbourg USS Alaska and the Danton class)if they will get released in 1/700 too ? I wondering whats next ? Plastic HMS King Edward VII class ?

TRUMPETER where is my 1/700 plastic Tsesarevich and New York class?

[PetrOs]

The 1/350 Danton kit is really great looking one - had a few of these over my store' desk. Would be interesting to see if they really manage to make changes to each of the sisters to make it consistent...

It is very difficult to predict, if Trumpeter/Hobby Boss will release a 1/350 kit in 1/700. There are plenty of 1/350 kits, which are still not re-scaled to 1/700, but were available in 1/350 fore almost a decade.

Maybe they just copied most of that old kit. The bulbous bow looks very strange, at least Hawaii is not like that. I checked the super structure of Merit Alaska, I have to say there are too many mistakes. It seems they just put the whole Guam's super structure on the deck and announced it's Alaska.

Hobby Search has listed the 1914 Kajika 1/700 Kongo for pre-order. No kit specifics yet, just box art,

[Quaestor]

Here's the link to the Kongo Steve posted about:

Flyhawks hms campbeltown has been released on ebay. I just ordered one?

[W.H.min]

The screws are so good!!

Will the release of this spark more interests in never completed ship subjects? These are so awesome!

I doubt both Trumpeter and VeryFire will release 1/350 Zeppelin kit in this month. Trumpeter is still working on modifying those mistakes, and also built new hangar deck, I don't expect they can finish their work in a few days. But there is no any further information about VeryFire's kit. Releasing same kit at same time is not smart.
