The kit will be available again in the summer, when Chris built the model the extra aircraft sets weren't available, but are now. Mike

Sales of the T class have been a little disappointing so far, which unless it picks up, makes the chances of seeing any more submarine kits from Starling Models pretty remote. Mike

Most of the kits in the new list were announced two years ago, some have obviously progressed but so far Flyhawk have tended to release 1 or 2 entirely new kits a year, by which I don't mean variations on something previously released. My point really is that it if they keep to that schedule, it is going to be some time before most of these are released. By the way, the 1/350 Prince of Wales is expected for release in three years, so 2021.... Mike

It would be difficult I think, there are quite a lot of differences. Mike

Pretty similar to the 2017 update!

The kit is now available, priced £45 from http://www.starling-models.co.uk Mike

Superb work. Mike

Thanks to all of you who bought the kits, the more sold, the more likely there will be future releases! Cheers Mike

Of course!

1/700 version should be in a week or two, it is HMS Tabard, T class group III, two kits in the pack, one full hull, one waterline. Mike

Starling Models 1/350 HMS Nadder River class frigate has now been released. This is a full hull resin kit with etched brass parts, turned brass barrels and masts and decals.

I have just posted some news on forthcoming Atlantic Models kits in the shops, manufacturers and vendors section. Mike

Casts have arrived for the forthcoming Atlantic Models 1/700 HMS London 1941 kit. This is a kit of the County Class cruiser as reconstructed with the large bridge and two funnels. The kit was intended for release by White Ensign Models before their sad demise but will now be released under Peter Hall's Atlantic Models label and produced by Starling Models. The kit is resin and etched brass and will feature 3d printed AA weapons by 3d Modelparts to greatly increase the level of detail. Only the main structural parts are shown in the photo. It will be available late July or early August. http:// http:// Also coming soon will be re-releases of some of the former White Ensign Models 1/700 range again under the Atlantic Models label. These will include HMS Coventry and HMS Starling, again with 3d Modelparts weapons sets, the Round Table Class trawler and some new kits that did not see release. The first three will be available during the next few months with the others released in due course. Mike

Very interesting subject, I don't know anything about the ship but hope you have luck in finding more information. Mike

For those saying they will wait for Flyhawk to release X, Y or Z kit as it is on their release list, I came across their 2017 release list from December 2016 over the weekend, it had nine kits on the list and they have since announced at least as many more plus a 1/350 kit. Any guesses as to how many have actually been released in those 18 months? One. Mike
