Mike McCabe Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 For those saying they will wait for Flyhawk to release X, Y or Z kit as it is on their release list, I came across their 2017 release list from December 2016 over the weekend, it had nine kits on the list and they have since announced at least as many more plus a 1/350 kit. Any guesses as to how many have actually been released in those 18 months? One. Mike 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Images of the test sprues for the Aoshima Dorsetshire: LINK. The hull's split construction in contrast with their Exeter kit which is a one piece moulding. The Flyhawk Dorsetshire will be better detailed but Aoshima will have their kit in the market way ahead of them. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Impressive as they are, at 1/700 those matlows would be just over 2.5mm! 1 hour ago, Chewbacca said: Now all we need is 1/600...preferably with some in No8s as well I don't think their would be a detectable difference.

Bout time Trumpeter employed someone who can write better than what they are currently are producing now. " Heavy cruiser Exeter is the British Royal Navy during World War II York class heavy cruiser ship in the 2nd, is the "Exeter" named after the first four warships. The ship had been hit hard in the 1939 Battle of the River Plate and the German Navy Admiral Graf Spee battleship battle, so accept the modification. After the conversion is completed the ship was sent to the east of India, in 1942, the Battle of Surabaya was sunk by the Japanese navy.

I would think that the English version has been machine-translated, from the original Chinese description that was provided for their home market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF Naughton Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hi, I think I kind of agree with Bootneck, if I can more or less understand what they are saying (rather than being totally in a language that I can not read) I'm happy. 😀 PF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
