Hopefully Agamemnon won't be long!

Cheer, Jabb.

I'm for this one too. I was going to grab the Danton when Squadron had a smoking deal on her but Lord Nelson is really more up my alley. Who knows when I'll be able to build her, but I don't mind taking the kit out and drooling once in a while.

No idea yet. We don't know the scope and scale of this manufacturer - will they stick to the Oceanmoon model of primarily Taobao, or will they be more like Flyhawk and work more on finding worldwide distributors?

I shall watch this space.

Any rumours of 1/700 Pensacola class CA in plastic?

[Timmy C]

Not that I know of.

Academy's 2017 catalogue with 3 new 1/700 subjects, 2 versions of USS Missouri(WWII and Korean War) and USS Enterprise. The first picture of USS Missouri(the one in the black and white picture) looks like a Korean War version ?

It also looks like they have two different versions of the USS Indianapolis coming out.

And they will probably BOTH be the late-war versions.

Hopefully that means the 1/350 HMS Rodney will not be far behind.

That's just the current 1/350 versions - one of just Indy, and the other with the I58 sub and PE parts.

[Steve]

In the Academy catalog some kits are tagged "MCP". Is this an abbreviation for multi colored parts?

[Timmy C]

Yes

Which of the Nelsons you mean? Since yesterday, Hobby Boss Lord Nelson Pre-Dread 1:350 is available on Preorder at my store with the ETA April.

The price is $56 so I suspect Freetime have made a mistake and confused HMS Nelson with HMS Lord Nelson.

[Aop Aur]

The picture is the HMS Nelson 1944. They must have made a mistake, so that is why I wonder such a kit would be this cheap!

Are there any updates on the Cyber Hobby CVN 65 Enterprise release? Have this one on pre-order and would love to get my hands on it at some point.

[Timmy C]

No.

[Sgt.Snake]

Free Time Hobbies has listed the following Trumpeter kits for pre-order. I'm sure yall already know about these, but I'm already saving my pennies for an Italian fleet in 350th

Littorio 1941
Vittorio Veneto
Zara, Fiume, Gorizia Heavy Cruisers

[rotley]

Free Time Hobbies is also showing Showcase Model Australia's 1/350 HMS/HMAS Vendetta up for pre-order @ $65.95.

Nothing about it on Showcase Model Australia's own website or Facebook page though. The website does show a 1/350 HMAS Vampire 1 as not being released but that has been there for quite a while.

[Steve]

The very last item in the FreeTimeHobbies "preorder" section on page 2 is the 1/700 Dragon CVN Enterprise at $49.95 (which has resurfaced again).

[dagovee]

I had noticed that Steve. Also, I had checked on Dragon USA a few weeks back and although it was listed, you could not pre-order it. Now it seems you can. I really hope it doesn't turn into one of those mythic releases that never was.

[Heavy Melder]

Just saw on HLJ and Amiami a listing for a 1/350 Borei class SSBN from Zvezda. Believe that makes four in this scale now....
