Pontosmodel 1/350 HMS King George V Class Detail Up Sets

[Admiral John Byng]

Hi Kim, thanks for these sets!

I assume the pe parts for the bridge front and wind baffles come with the DoY set? They aren't shown on the photo. Maybe it was taken before you could fit them?

Thanks.

Will you be releasing a 1944-1945 King George V set for the Tamiya kit?

We will look the sale conditions of these earlier versions KGV Class.
If sales better than we thought, we will release later KGV Class version based on 1/350 Tamiya King George V Kit.

Haha, good to know that the KGV set is released ! Hope I could get mine from Lucky Model soon.

Ohh, I need a Prince of Wales kit to build as KGV ?! Lucky that I have not bought the Tamiya KGV kit yet.

Regards,

Douglas

Yep at this time earlier KGC Class version for 1/350 Tamiya Prince of Wales kit.
Even KGV 1941 detail up set, you should get Prince of Wales Kit not KGV Kit.
Thank you
Kim

Yep DoY also includes theses Wind deflect parts.
These parts are for the advanced modelers because it takes over 30minutes for assembling...
Some of basic plastic part photos are shown for easier working.



Thank you
Kim

[Admiral John Byng]

Thanks Kim.
I might use the kit parts as I think it will be difficult to get a good bond with superglue on the wind deflector and I am not an advanced modeller so I have only a bit of experience with pe.

I am really impressed by the way you have engineered these sets and I can see a lot of thought has gone into them.

Are you planning to do a set for the Airfix 1/350 HMS Illustrious? That is a kit that some modellers have made into superb models but a lot of skill is needed and it would be good to have a set to fix the basic problems and add all the detail that is missing.

Thanks Kim.

...

I'm always very sceptic in such things and for bigger PE Sets in general (because is everything necessary etc.) with 26 years of experience at modeling ... but THIS I can sign for 100%!!!

My first Pontos Set I bought is that for Sevastopol and in comparsion it is the best I ever used, including PE sets of my other area of interestings at modeling (1/35 and 1/87 tanks). The set is very well made in quality of PE and brass parts and you can see the clear good thoughts going into ... for example with all the stripes to be glued on deck. The solution of sticking there PE stripes on deck is in itself very smart and how depending PE sheet is made with numbering too, because no trouble or searching what must be sticked where on deck.
So I became a fan of Pontos and everything after next project (Mikasa - here with Eduard and Master Set) will be prefered to be build with a set of Pontos if available for kit and even my stopped USS Essex built waits for the Pontos Set to be bought first before going on there.

Cheers,
Christian

Thank you Roger and Christian for your intersting in Pontos.
Roger, I have tried 2 times in assembling wind deflect parts, but it is not so hard though these may be for Advanced modelers.
Surely the effcts after finishing are better than kit parts.
Illustrious is just after CVN-65 Enterprise.

Christian, Mikasa in within our hands because many Japanese customers and dealers wish to meet our Kongo,Nagato and Mikasa set.
Almost contents of Mikasa set are as same as Dreadnought or Sevastopol detail up set.
The only matter we are under consideration is the pressed oval shape Funnel head.
Of course I am sure we can also prove this output but now we cannot show anything.
Good luck foryour Sevastopol. I am always wathing your work process.

Thank you
Kim

[Christian M.]

Hello Mr. Kim,

thank you for that information and very good to hear that for Mikasa will be Pontos set too.
After Mikasa I will make Dreadnought too with Pontos, but for coming Mikasa I have still Eduard PE set and gun tubes from master. But because I still search Hasegawa's edition with statue of Admiral Togo, I will build her later a scend time with maybe peace color or other fitting as Mikasa now.
With my current Mikasa it was a little bit strange, because I waited 4.5 months until being delivered. My prefered shop had to order at importer, but importer had to order too in Japan and so a long delivery time by container with next big delivery for Europe ... nearly same way back (if not used Suez channel) of 29.000km as Russian fleet of 1904 travelled before battle of Tsushima.

Kim:

Any chance of releasing the PoW, KGV, and DoY upgrade sets in 1/700 scale as well? It think there would be much demand for this.

Likewise, 1/700 upgrade and accurizing sets for the Tamiya 1/700 Rodney and Nelson in mid-war fit for each. I think these would be VERY popular...

Thanks for all you are doing for the hobby!

Mike E.

Mr Kim,

Are there plans for this?

Mr Kim, any news on this?

Wow.

Does the POW kit have all the parts to do the "as sunk" fit out? i.e. an 8 barrel Pompom on B and a 4 on Y and the 7 Oerlikons?

Thanks

Andrew,
At this time our Pow set is for the 1941 May version of battle in the Denmark Strait.
So there is no 4 PomPoms in this PoW set. However we added 8 20mm Oerlikons with some Tubs.

Thank you
Kim

[EJFoeth]

These Oerlikons were placed when the UP launchers were already gone; UP launchers and Oerlikons cannot be on the model at the same time. It would make sense to add five 8-barreled and one 4-barreled set of pompom parts to make the set more suitable for HMS POWs entire career?

Thank you Foeth for your confirmation of Oerlikon setting.
At this time we have not added 4 barreled PomPom.

But if you would realize Final PoW you can easily get only one set of 4B. PomPom from other source.

Thank you
Kim

[JCRAY]

What source is that?

[Pontosmodel]

I think I should have input one 4B. Pompom at this PoW set.
But we could reduce the price of PoW set a little without this PomPom.

If you wish to get this, please go to one of WEM Site

Thank you

[Admiral John Byng]

These are the WEM 8 barrelled Pom Poms:

It might be easier to get the DoY set to make the PoW as sunk?
