    The new ships page on that link, show the new 1/700 German P,an Z battleship and battlecruiser plus the USS Midway in early and late formats. Whats of interest to us is the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier first announced a couple of years ago has now changed from a stock photo to Box Art which generally indicates release in the next 12 months.

    Heller are producing a new 1/72 E-2C Hawkeye complete with folding wings supposedly for 2023 although given its now Dacember, more likely qtr1 2024. The Greyhound is a logical development of this now kit.

    No they already do the F-35 in the Quickbuild range, the new F-35B will be like the Hawk, Spitfire Vc, Sherman Firefly & Tiger kits, as a more simple kit for begineers. Thatswhy many of the Airfix 72nd fans were rather disappointed as they had opted not to release a more detailed kit for the more experienced modeller. It will end up as a slap together kit t be used in the background of a CVF flight deck diorama whilst a more detailed Academy kit is used as the centrepiece focal model

    Disappointed to see just a rerelease of the Merlin TTI Italian Navy Utility aircraft. The CSAR Italian Ceaser variant appeers to have been dropped without releases. Still no attempt to do Italian Navy ASW or AEW variant and missed oppertunity to do the Ryal Navy Crows Nest with a possible ASW re-issue or the HC4 Commado variant both of which would go nicely with thier F-35B kit

    The Catalogue appears after the chinese new year, even the websites are currently offline. There has however been one leak on FB from the new catalogue, under the new 1/700 Ship releases page they show a new kit of the HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier https://www.facebook.com/groups/1026561020700528/permalink/5907153199307928

    https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RAF7211?result-token=qbJuT This sheet includes 155 in Malaysia, sadly they don't show that page in the instructions

    https://www.facebook.com/Pennine-Model-Shop-269791833143518 Worth a trip, but they have moved out of Haworth and are now in a farm in the hills above Skipton, the new place has a lot more space, and plenty of aircraft kits

    And like the 72nd RN kit still has the chaff mounting plates beneath the engines that were added later when in RAF service, So B- for research, as this was pointed out on their 72nd 2SC kit

    Nice to see they will scale down the Angled Deck Essex CVS-12 to 1/700, although its noticeable that the aircraft for this carrier (Crusader, Skyhawk, Tracker/Tracer) are not listed in the 700 aircraft as dedicated sets !. Sadly the 700 Belfast's appear to be no further along than the 72ns Mig-19

    Should be a nice kit going off the the 1/700 ships I have from them, Only thing missing i can see would be a folded wing option
  16. Geoff_B
    Aircraft Yes, but they have done some very nice armour kits in 1/72
