Thanks for the info Chris - having already done the X tail, I was hoping it would include the early configuration + tail and bow planes (first image)...... Still, it shou;ldn't be too difficult to scratch....... I might indulge. Does the MM kit have the dive brakes?? (as depicted in the last image) Cheers Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) On a similar topic, Peter Hall says that the Atlantic Models Batch 1 (Broadsword) and Batch 2 (Boxer) 1/350 Type 22 kits are now close to ready. Since I served in both ships, that’s another major addition to the stash coming up! Edited November 12, 2019 by Ex-FAAWAFU 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Wow!! I'd really like that 1:700 HMS Ark Royal IV, and the 1:700 HMS Andromeda looks interesting too - hopefully they will release other Leanders (or include parts / decals) as I'd want to build Apollo F70 since my late grandfather served on Ark in the early '70s, and later on Apollo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinder feels like being back at work with the firm, aka yes you can have but there is no funding in the budget as some one else needs the money and you lot are not a vote winner for punters on civie st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCZ Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I can´t wait a S.M.S. Viribus Unitis - this Austro-Hungarian dreadnought have in Czech Republic a CULT status, thank you of pre-war comedy movie "Heroic Captain Korkorán" with King of Comedy - very famous and still very popular actor Vlasta Burian. (Plot is simple - ex stoker on Viribus Unitis in WW I - Adam Korkorán, now long time captain of Vltava steam ship "Primátor Dittrich" on Prague Steamship Company going to spa Poděbrady (near Prague) - but he make an mistake and instead of healt insurance hotel, he coming to luxury hotel - and here he met an ex-Austro-Hungarian Highest Commander Admiral Piáczi. (fictious). Director (and all personal) in luxury hotel "promote" paddle ship captain to "Corvette Captain of K.U.K. - and Adam Korkorán say Admiral - he is ex- commander from Viribus Unitis.) It is a Czech crazy comedy - but in real battleship served czech sailors in many post.) Unfortunatelly - Viribus Unitis isn´t still release 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 A surprise from Aoshima: J class destroyer HMS Jervis in 1/700. LINK. As to why the Jervis.... I think Aoshima's licencing agreement with Kadokawa to produce merchandise for the browser game Kantai Collection has something to do with it.

Said Cornwall kit is now in my possesion - six days Japan to UK and no ransom note from Royal Mail, so I'm well chuffed! I'll have a proper look at the kit tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a link to Mitsuaki Kubota's twitter account, if you scroll down to the 23rd of November onwards he has posted several tweets giving his views on both the Cornwall kit and the S Class destroyer.
