I was quite chuffed to find the Revell kits for Sheffield/Coventry, Exeter/Southampton and Manchester/Gloucester quite cheaply on German ebay fairly recently. And they regularly have all 3 Vinces available on there.

German ebay is deffo the place to pick up Revell kits on the cheap, so long as you are willing to take the P & P on the chin. Multiple purchases from one retailer of course helps. Pity I cant find a bloody Victor on there though :(

The F-35 might be interesting as Orangehobby were tempted to try doing those as injection moulded using one of their local companies.

I see from Trumpeters website that they are releasing HMS Barham 1941 in 1:700 this Summer. Could be interesting as she was probably the least modernised of the class.

THe new PLA LPD is also due for release in 1:350

With this recent rash of LPD's and LHA's is it too much to hope for a kit of Albion, Bulwark or Ocean in 1/350 scale. Airfix or Trumpy are you listening?

New from Trumpeter in September:

1/200 USS Missouri BB-63

1/350 Type 45 Destroyer

http://www.trumpeter-china.com/a/gb2312/xinpinfabu/2013/0708/2439.html

Another Type 45, will be interesting to compare this to the Airfix kit, a shame they duplicate the subject matter, I just think they would have got better mileage with a Type 42, but if the quality is similar to their Type 23 I'll probably get one anyway, at least it shows that Trumpeter is keeping up their interest in British ships, old and new.

That would be great. Although Ocean is a bit samey likey Illustrious, Albion/ Bulwark certainly offer interest. I would probably buy an RFA Diligence if they made one. Now that does offer a large amount of scope for detailing. Other than our good selves here, would Echo/Enterprise sell? The Rivers? Or even a 70's Ark?

Stop, getting carried away!

The Airfix T45 isn't all that bad is it? I have one and is perfectly acceptable. Does Trumpeter think they'll sell a lot as I'd more than likely not buy one as Airfix has beat them to the punch by a few years.

Oh! bugger not a 1:200 Missouri, I've only just ordered the 1:200 USS Hornet and Atlantic models 1:350 HMS Glamorgan.

Oh and one for the cruiser fans, Atlantic Models are currently working on a Dido class cruiser.

Don't get me wrong, the Airfix kit is fine, I have one on the go at the moment, but if you've seen the Trumpy Type 23, the moulding looks that little bit sharper, it will be interesting to see how Trumpy break down the parts.

As to the logic of duplication of subject, we have to remember, the Airfix kit does not make any money for Trumpy and vice versa.

That's another on the list of wants Jockster. I think Peter has enough on his plate at the moment, what with the Tribals, Leanders and Leeds/Dumbarton Castle and that's just his own stuff. When you add what he's doing for WEM then it's amazing he gets any time to himself.

I've heard from a little birdy that OrangeHobby are releasing a 1:350 Batch 3 Type 22 in the near future. :yahoo:

About time, now I can build a model of HMS Campbeltown as I helped build the real one!

Julien (Happy, now where is my 1.350 Upholder Class Submarine?)

Strictly speaking, this is not a ship related release but I don't really know where else to put this but I picked up the July issue (213) of Tamiya model magazine today and it has an awesome build of the Airfix 1/350 HMS Illustrious inside. :gobsmacked:

Six page article, plenty of pics, built by Ian Ruscoe. modelmaking at its finest using the WEM etch sets. I think this is a must for anyone building Lusty/Ark Royal/Invincible.

Sorry if it's the wrong place to post but I had to point it out.

Jockster.
