Harry@BFM Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I do not know if this has been mentioned here before. AK Interactive have released a DVD Weathering German Ships. Some very interesting weathering techniques are shown. I picked up mine at the LHS for $30US not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Day Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I should have a few more pictures soon from Orangehobby. I think it will be a good year for Maritime modellers, there are lots of interesting kits on the horizon from a range of manufacurers ! Coming soon from MT Miniatures: 1:700 HMS Lion c.1960 and HMS Tiger c.1959 John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Now, a Tiger or Blake in 1:350 would be better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David J Ross Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The photos, of HMS Tiger in Malta, that I found when I did a search do seem to support that. You just need to scroll down the page. http://hms-tiger.co.uk/photos.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Day Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 @Chewitt I think you are right about the turrets. I have looked at Revells/Matchbox HMS Tiger and some more photos and they all show a smaller gap. The photo is pre-production, but I would imagine the hull shape would be set in stone at this point of production ! Could the hull be modified prior to casting or would this require starting again from scratch ? john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar2 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 OMG! Will need a new house for this one. Shame it's not the Enterprise, but I guess the Hornet will be ok. http://www.boystownmilitaryminiatures.com/MERITTRUMPETER_1200_USS_HORNET_CV-8_AIRCRAFT_CARRIER_SPECIAL_OFFER_PRE_ORDER_3RD_QUARTER/p1144420_9255781.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowler0000 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Details look a bit questionable... Apparently, She's berthed in Alameda nowadays: Hell of a recovery!!! Seriously, from what i read elsewhere, it's the 1/350 Trumpy kit scaled up with all the accuracy issues, but larger... Good price, tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 From what i've been told it was actually designed by another company and released by Trumpeter, but we'll see what the "experts" say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John @ WEM Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wrong Hornet, mates. The kit will be CV-8, of Doolittle Raid fame and lost at the Battle of Santa Cruz. The ship berthed at Alameda is CV-12, which took over the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Would still prefer Enterprise or even Yorktown. The Hornet seems to get all the attention, mainly because of that one mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
