Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Very Fire's all-new tool 1/350 injection moulded USS Missouri BB-63 is to be released within the next few weeks. This is quite a step forward from the venerable 1980s vintage Tamiya kit that has been out of production for some time now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Looks very nice indeed. If they're going to have the barbettes like that I hope there will be some interior detail to go in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Looks like some prayers might be getting answered - as well as Exeter and York, it's looking like 1:350 County class cruisers may be on the way!

SUB-SAM Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) I have been watching this one for a while, Looks like Trumpeter will release their 1/144 Astute SSN this month. http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?g=home&m=product&a=show&id=3114&l=en This will be followed sometime by XIA class chinese (another nuke) and Soryu Japanese submarine (diesel/AIP) in the same 1/144 line up from Trumpeter. The range of 1/144 nuclear subs is slowly growing...

Ravens Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Looks like Flyhawk are making their 1/350 plastic debut with HMS Prince of Wales. If it's anything like their 1/700 offering then it should be special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be upset if they made their 1/200 debut with it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally a new Scharnhorst and Gniesenau and I can't believe they're doing HMS London! HMS Dorsetshire and HMAS Sydney are welcome surprises too. I think I'd already seen the others but nonetheless I'm excited to see new Royal Navy and Kriegsmarine subjects, makes a change from IJN and USN stuff (even though I like them too). All on top of Trumpeter's HMS Nelson + Rodney and IBG's 6 new RN Destroyers, I've no idea where I can get the money to buy them all! thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Looks like Flyhawk will be getting a chunk of my money then! As for the Aoshima HMS Exeter, the boxart appeared a little while ago over on HobbySearch: LINK. The first boxing will bundle in a Yamashita Hobby Inuzama (Batch III Special Type/Fubuki) as that ship rescued survivors from Exeter. The kit image shows that more detail has been added compared with the first shots: LINK. I might actually get this when it comes out as I've wanting to get the Yamashita Hobby Special Type Batch III's. There will be those who won't like the boxart, but it's in the same vein as the first releases of the Aoshima's Ark Royal, Hermes and Wasp kits. Mike.

The Yamashita Fubuki's are well regarded by Model Warship's resident 1/700 IJN modelling expert, so it's a nice bonus to have! thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Macnaughton Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Trumpeter is now showing the make up of the 1/144th HMS Astute kit although I haven't seen anything yet on actual availability in UK or price: http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?g=home&m=product&a=show&id=3114&l=en There appear to be more individual decals than there are plastic parts!

MikeR Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Some more 1/700 announcements from Aoshima and Hasegawa: Aoshima: HMS Dorsetshire "Indian Ocean Raid". After this and the Exeter I'd say chances are good that Aoshima will do the HMS Cornwall. With some additions or alterations to the tooling they could also potentially box the Dorsetshire kit as the Norfolk. Two "Operation Ten-Go" kits from Hasegawa, Asashio class Kasumi and Yugumo class Asashimo. Since the latter has boxart I'd say that will appear first. Mike.

MikeR Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Images of the Aoshima HMS Dorsetshire are now up on HobbySearch: LINK.

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The Flyhawk Dorsetshire will beat the Aoshima kit hands down, I'll be interested in the Exeter, seeing as the Special Edition set disappeared before I even saw it for sale. The Flower class corvettes are welcome. Trumpeter's 1/700 USS Enterprise is also out now. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at those pictures of Dorsetshire on the HobbySearch site, either it wasn't photographed on a flat surface or it has a banana shaped hull!

It doesn't look that great a model for something that's brand new. If it was 20 years ago I'd buy it but not now knowing it's on Flyhawk's projected kit list. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
