Modelholic Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Had a quick shufti in the box. Usual Trumpy packaging with plastic matting around the sprues for protection. But what I can see is well moulded. So, yes, very happy. Off to Micromaster's site now. O.T. re. your splinter mats on HMS Kent, I'm going to trial using plastic card, carving details and a wash of extra thin to 'soften' them a bit. I'll post what I think.

I can echo that sentiment, even though my preferred ship modelling scale is 1/350 (with a sideline in the Airfix 1/600 range), we certainly are living in a "Golden Age" for scale modelling, but of course everything comes at a price, and my wallet is struggling to keep up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 A bit surprised that no one has posted this little beauty due in Jan, pre orders already being taken. World War One U-Boat SM U-9 in 1/72, looks awesome. https://www.das-werk-models.com/products/german-u-boat-sm-u9/ Also a 1/350 Oberon from Ozmods has been released, Mike at Starling is getting some in. http://www.ozmods-kits.com/ship-kits-1350 All the best Chris 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I keep getting a 'possible scam alert' on the link to Greg's website so I don't visit there. I shall probably get an Oberon if they do become available in UK. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit frustrating when sites aren't current on security certs! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know that feeling ever since I’ve been on the Pension post med discharge from the RAAF. But what the wife doesn’t know is a good thing when comes to this hobby. Yes it’s a Golden Age for scale modelling atm and it will be interesting to see how long it lasts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Esposito Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I would love to see the SM u-9 reduced to 1/144 scale...or even 1/350! At 32" it's just too big. 😥 Looks great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-boat 55 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Not really a new release but just an FYI amazon (yes I know it's not a LHS but a budget is a budget) currently have 1/350 Littorio's for £59, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestar12chris Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Well Mikromir keep them coming, finally they have filled the gap in their US SSBN's with two new releases in 1/350 SSBN-608 Ethan Allen (this was the first fully designed SSBN class following the cobbled together George Washington (stretched skipjack) class) Also they have released a spec ops version in 1/350 USS John Marshall, c/w dry deck shelters. So with Mikromir you can now build all SSBN classes up to but not including the OHIO. All the best Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart With Starling models 1/350 S class on the horizon and OKB's recent group 2 C class in 1/350 & 1/700 the RN submarines are on the increase, so who knows whats coming Stuart, as Mikromir and OKB generally release them without little or no warning.

dnl42 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I see that AFV Club's 1/350 LST 491-class is now in shops. Does anybody know when they'll get to the 542-class? That will enable me to build LST-938 USS MARICOPA COUNTY. My father served on her in the early 50s; he's in the foreground 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hi Michal - that's very promising - I see there were 2 versions of LCI (Large) the scond without the cyliindrical gun tubs was the one commonly seen in RN colours - Hope that Ben is planning to do that version as well. Even greater need for appropriate RN crew figures!!! Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
