*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[MartinJQuinn]

1.1in guns weren't added until after Eastern Solomons. It's been previously mentioned that it's most likely a Santa Cruz fit.

Correction that was likely a typo. The 40mm were what is added after Eastern Solomons.

Thanks. Meant to say removed.

[MartinJQuinn]

supposedly 4 quad 40mm aa guns installed between Oct & Nov 42. http://www.cv6.org/ship/armament.htm

She had the quad 40mm installed by Santa Cruz. One of the reasons she survived and Hornet didn't. That and she didn't eat a torpedo.

Thanks - that is the best 1/700 news in a long time from them!

[Quaestor]

Second this:
Seriously: was not expecting a CB before I pop my clogs

[SeanF]

Hmm... with Intrepid now under the Trumpeter label, will we finally see release of the Vietnam-era aircraft packs?

Add the HMS Calcutta scaled down to 1/700 as well! And while your at it, if your not going to release the Belfast in 1/700, then make its sister the Edinburgh appear instead!

How long ago was 1/700 Belfast, from Trumpeter announced there? 5-6 years ago?
I guess some items are just way down on their priority list.

[Chargerman]

Flyhawks HMS Illustrious is up on Hobbyeasy for preorder.

Not big on US BB's, but that's a fine looking model!

Hasegawa is releasing a 'limited edition' of its 1/450 scale IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano in January 2021 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the laying down of the keel. The model website (not a sponsor on here) I saw this on does not mention whether the kit is an upgrade or not. Although it does say you get a bonus special badge.

If only it was in 1/350 scale.

I second the motion.

Bof ! most certainly a release of the old kit by Hasegawa at the same scale 1/450. I do not think the current covid situation will push manufacturers to invest a lot in new big kits.

No, it'd be the new-mold one released in 2015: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10343419

Don't count on it, scale model building has had a big upswing this year. People stuck inside looking for something to do....

BIG NEWS TODAY - at least for me
Japanese Light Cruiser Yubari at Battle of Savo Island is coming from Pit-Road!
Hope they will make a corresponding PE set, too
