Oh, that's a given.

Do we know if Flyhawk is making a 1/700 Tirpitz and 1/700 Scharnhorst (and if so, when)?

That link show virtually a modellers dream in 1/700,
Leander class CL, Amphion Class CL (HMAS Sydney)
Duke of York, K class destroyer, Dorsetshire, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
Moltke, all three Illustrious class CV, London,
Emden, Dresden, Agincourt...


I could spend a lot of money if these are true this year.

Yeah no kidding
Given Flyhawk's history, I'm not worrying too much about my wallet this year

[Captain Morgan]

Flyhawk also shows a Hunt I class ship HMS Mendip later Lin Fu in Chinese service, then Mohamed ali-El-Kebir and finally Haifa in the Israeli Navy.

[steviecee]

Having pre-ordered the Kelley, that leaves 14 on Flyhawks page that I'll purchase, so you figure out the hole in my wallet. (Also the Galtea if they issue it in a cheaper version)

An HMAS Sydney!

I hope they have PE to accompany it.

I am not sure whether I should be happy or sad that Flyhawk do not do 1/350 scale.

I mean a Leander light cruiser, HMAS Sydney, Illustrious class aircraft carriers etc etc in 1/350 scale would be awesome to have in the collection but I would be permanently broke trying to buy them all.

[Atma]

Hope they will release HMS Duke of York BEFORE ANY German WWII era ship....

[Chargerman]

They already released two WWII German ships.

[drasticplastic]

Not another KGV class!

[Miguel]

Lucky 1/700 modelers, Trumpeter HMS Montrose is coming soon, again , nothing on 1/350 .

Wondering what is happening with the one I am very interested and was announced nearly 2 years ago

1/350 Nelson Class !!!! WHEN!!!!

[Captain Morgan]

They've already released a German WWII era ship in Konigsburg.

You should note that TimmyC the moderator actually updated the list on the first page of this thread last January to announce the coming of those ships. He even posted screen grabs of the Flyhawk, HobbyBoss and Trumpeter catalogues of upcoming kits.

While I'm excited that they're finally gonna cover HMS Formidable, the 3rd class Illustrious CV, I'm just disappointed no one has ever done the 4th ship in the class in 1/700 scale, HMS Indomitable, which is substantially different from the other three and cannot be depicted by using an Aoshima or Flyhawk kit of the other three sisters.

Here's his list again from his post on the first page:

Flyhawk
HMS Agincourt 1916
USS Montana - ETA Unknown
*For all below, see attached catalog image for proof*
HMS Legion 1941
HMS Javelin 1940
HMS Kelly 1940
HMS Penelope 1940
HMS Hermes 1942
Bismarck 1941-

KM cruisers Koln, Karlsruhe, Konigsberg, Nurnberg 1945
SMS Derfflinger 1918
SMS Moltke 1916
SMS Emden 1914, Dresden 1915
SMS Bayern 1918

HMS Achilles, Ajax
HMS Duke of York
HMS Dorsetshire
HMS Mendip
HMS Victorious
DKM Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
HMS Formidable
HMAS Sydney
HMS Illustrious
HMS Lively
HMS Hood
HMS London
SMS Dresden

[Dick J]

There are a few more announced Flyhawk future releases that are not on this list.
HMS Phoebe (1943)
HMS Sirius (1942)
KM Leipzig (Announced in 2017)
HMS Invincible (WW-I announced in 2019)

I presume these are all still in the works at some point.

[Vlad]

I just hope that all these Flyhawk Illustrious class CVs won't be in early war fit (or at least not every single one). Aoshima has already done that, if I'm paying a premium for Flyhawk I want well researched, correct and complete late war fit with full AA included, which has never been done on a British carrier kit in any scale.

And if anything is really lacking from the carrier line-up, it's HMS Implacable...

And her sister HMS Indefatigable.

[burtus05]

That list should be updated. Legion, Penelope, Hermes, Konigsberg and Bismarck have already been released. And Montana, is there any proof that Flyhawk will release it? Other than a unconfirmed rumor released years ago.
