Are you going to have a UK distributor ?
( Postage and Customs Duty/VAT from the USA tends to be excessive )

HLJ (HobbyLink Japan) have listed a very large number of Flyhawk detailing photoetches and kits for both 1/700th and 1/350th for future release.
I do not know whether they are new or re-releases, but I can't remember the 1/350th RN ones.
Anyway, they are on this link from page 3 onwards ;

Well-known Flyhawk upgrade sets, but look at prices, almost twice as high as at Hobbyeasy

I saw this posted at the Free Time Hobbies site.
https://freetimehobbies.com/1-600-acade ... kit-14400/
I'm surprised that, if it isn't a typo, that Academy would go the 1/600 route instead of a more typical 1/700.

There are photos of the painted and built kit on Academy's website here: http://academy.co.kr/1p/1p_plaview.asp? ... PLA0000003ADebroux wrote:I saw this posted at the Free Time Hobbies site.

Incidentally, Academy's also releasing a 1/400 Missouri in WWII fit: http://academy.co.kr/1p/1p_plaview.asp? ... PLA0000003

"There are photos of the painted and built kit on Academy's website here: http://academy.co.kr/1p/1p_plaview.asp? ... PLA0000003" - whilst I've not seen the parts breakdown of this kit, the photos, particularly the air group, show a remarkable resemblance to the Kangnam 1/600 scale kit (http://www.internetmodeler.com/2002/aug ... _cvn65.htm). It may even be a re-box of the Arii kit.

That is the mystery behind this Academy ,the Kangnam 1/600 kit,what a shame Dragon did not work out the 1/700 Beehive Enterprise

Re: *Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases
From that old inbox review of the Kangnam kit, there is a minor difference that I can tell for now - the Kangnam kit comes with motorizable three-blade propellers, while the "new" Academy one has them in proper count.

Re: *Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases
I have all of the Very Fire kits, but I'll still get one of these. The question I have now is what the price is going to be, and where to pick one up. It will not be one of those places I've never heard of, that much I know.

They look like knock off�s of Tamiya�s obsolete 1/350 kits....Timmy C wrote:There are photos of the painted and built kit on Academy's website here: http://academy.co.kr/1p/1p_plaview.asp? ... PLA0000003ADebroux wrote:I saw this posted at the Free Time Hobbies site.

Just to mention from the list on page 1 that TRUMPETER LITTORIO 1/350 is available at least in Europe. Mine is moored at the entrance of the shipyard
