New Ship Related Releases


Recommended Posts

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.

I've got one due in for review along with the new AK ship weathering washes.

On the slipway from Orangehobby.

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:

The gap between The front to turrets seem too big

This is my 1/700 Matchbox kit the turrets are much closer,oh this is a "what if" had Tiger done to the Falklands in 1982

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 ?

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!

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.

Would still prefer Enterprise or even Yorktown. The Hornet seems to get all the attention, mainly because of that one mission.
