Hi All, Those who have seen my Strasbourg thread may have noted i mentioned building an escort for her, well with Trumpeters release of the cruiser Marseillaise i can do that. I've become quite enchanted by the Marine Nationale, a force that in my opinion could have been quite influential in the war had not France have fallen quite as quickly, or had Darlan of made a different choice at Mers el Kebir. The Italian navy that was a threat for so long would have been much less so with the French forces working in conjunction with the Royal Navy in the Med, I doubt that the axis forces would have done as well in north Africa, what impact that would have had on Crete's fall is arguable as a result, likewise Greece. That aside i think these are one of the finest looking cruisers of the period, long sleek lines that are elegant and purposeful at the same time. To demonstrate here are a few pictures; These are Trumpys painting instructions, as with all French ships the exact colours are very debatable and as i plan to build a second of the class I've decided to have some fun with the first one. They have released Marseillaise, which to be honest had largely the quietest career of the class so seeing as I'm a little masochistic and to prove to myself that i have learned from the mistakes i am still struggling with on Graf Zeppelin i will modify her to her sister Gloire, literally translating into English as Glory. She like her siters was refitted in America in 1943, there's a bit to do to modify the kit from a 1939/42 fit to a 1943 but it should be doable. As part of this she was given an experimental disruptive camouflage scheme which seems very much more WW1 than WW2. A few photo's to demonstrate; Work will start in earnest tomorrow and run concurrently with Strasbourg. As the kit is so new out there isnt any after market out for it yet but the sprue shots ive seen and slowly increasing amount of PE in Trumpy's kits bode well and i'll look to make improvements where i can. The downside of a Camo scheme like this is it will hide the lines i've just fawned over - but this is merely an excuse to buy another one soon, Thaks Sam

Hi all, Just received this huge new 1/32 Super Hornet today: It looks more or less the same as the E model with the same build progression and new parts for the F. Unfortunately when I had a look at the new canopy, something didn't look right... I thought the black/brown bits might be dust, but they didn't wipe off. then I thought it might be residue of some kind, but it didn't scratch off So I had a look under magnification and good light, and these bits are actually moulded into the canopy part This is bizarre. Anyone have any idea how this might have happened? And is this a job for the retailer to sort out, or do I need to go through Revell to get this replaced? Any advice or insight welcome, Alan

Pontos/Lighthouse-Models 25001R1 - 1/250 Antarctica Observation Ship "SOYA" The Third Antaractica Observation Corps. This is the first full kit released by Pontos Model of South Korea, and introducing their associated new brand Lighthouse Model. The kit is a beautifully crisp injection moulded plastic kit, with a full Pontos Model detail-up set included within the box and the two intrinsically designed for each other from the outset. You get one full-colour instruction manual, 7 injection moulded trees, 6 sheets of photo-etched brass plus a photo-etched steel name plate in English or Japanese, 3 cast resin parts and 2 metal propellers (screws), 1 wooden deck laminate, 224 turned brass parts and a sheet of Cartograph printed decals. Soya is the second most famous ship in Japan, but unlike the most famous (the battleship Yamato) the Soya was a research vessel. The kit includes tracked snow vehicle, helicopters and DHC-2 Beaver floatplane carried on board. This product contains everything you could want to make a first-class model apart from tools and consumables. https://www.sovereignhobbies.co.uk/collections/1-250-naval-kits/products/pontos-lighthouse-models-25001r1-1-250-antarctica-observation-ship-soya-the-third-antaractica-observation-corps

The new tool 1/72 Gloster Gladiator from Airfix is due into stock tomorrow. We received an advance copy so we have uploaded some sprue shots for you. The kit comes in two sprues, plus one for the clear parts. http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/airfix-172-gloster-gladiator-mki/ There are 2 sprues of parts - sprue A. The kit only comes with the 2-bladed propeller And logically enough Sprue B. This has options for weighted and non-weighted tyres. The clear parts include options for open and closed canpoies and there are 2 different windscreen designs. Decal options are for the Shuttleworth Collection's aircraft in the markings of K7985 73 Squadron and aircraft 26 of the Irish Air Corps in 1940. One nice touch in the instructions is the inclusion of a rigging diagram.
