Ah, the joys of machine translation. Well spotted, Mike.

Revell August 2017 release
Rebox 1/144 USS Fletcher in Platinum Edition

Now i might be off topic, but haveing almost compleated the new Tamiya 1/700 Saratoga kit, i just cant belive how different she looks compared to my old Fujimi kit i built a few years ago. The Tamiya is SO MUCH lower, sleaker and more finely detailed, it makes the Fujimi Sara look like something out of a kids cartoon !? Now i just hope Tamiya will make a, just as fantastic, new retooled Yorktown class in the same scale.....And some British cruisers.....And Italian destroyers, and Brooklyn, some tankers, supplyships etc, etc.

[Timmy C]

That's what happens when you have 40 years of technological and research advancements. You'll note a similar level of improvement with any other company (including Fujimi themselves) with kits tooled in the last 10 years.

Is this a new tool Yamato class on the way from Aoshima?

https://hlj.com/product/AOS05264

There's an etching set for it as well:

I could be wrong but I didn't think Aoshima had a 1/700 scale kit of the Yamato/Musashi outside their weird sci-fi ones.

In 2016 Aoshima released 2 sci-fi (new tool) models of Yamato/Musashi

And this Musashi is rebox of it's new model

In 2014 Aoshima reboxed Tamiya's Yamato

1/700 New York

Don't worry...is a partial CAD ,1/700 Trumpeters AFAIK always do 2 pieces full hull

[pascalemod]

@ Miguel

yes, bless them. So good would be to have a sharnhorst or some of the Japanese warships in full hull in 1/700. Glad Trumpeter offers this option. I recently bought a Mikasa in 1/700 in full hull, cant wait to get my hands on that tiny thing!
