"Rajen's Ship Kit List" - a useful reference site

[Edward Pinniger]

Not sure if most people here already know about this, but I've found this website very useful:

http://www.quuxuum.org/rajens_list/rajen.html

Basically it lists virtually every injection-moulded plastic ship kit released (and quite a few resin ones, though the list is far from comprehensive) from the 1950s to the present day. Includes all subjects including sail and civilian vessels.

Many kits have detailed descriptions/mini-reviews, generally newer releases have less information and a few of the latest kits are absent from the list (though the list is updated fairly regularly).

I find this list invaluable, both for checking out the specifics of kits I see on eBay or online shops, and as a guide to what kits were produced by which manufacturers. (There's a number of Lindberg large-scale ships listed which I've never seen for sale; such as the 1/125 Carronade-class fire support ship)
If you see an unusual ship kit for sale on eBay or elsewhere, this list can be very helpful in finding out what scale it is, its original issue date, level of detail/accuracy, and whether it's a unique tooling or simply a rebox of another ship of the same class.

You can save the page to your PC hard disk to avoid having to load the page every time you want to check the list.
