I shall not be holding my breath for anything new. Stuart Nowadays I tend to wait until test pics appear before overly anticipating a new release. Until there's something concrete then these announcements are essentially the hobby industry's equivalent of 'vapourware.' Ross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1/700, I'm only interested in British destroyers so their isn't much to interest me. On another note Mike, can I make a Group II T Class Sub from you Group III with a little modification? Stuart It would be difficult I think, there are quite a lot of differences. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall not be holding my breath for anything new. Stuart Most of the kits in the new list were announced two years ago, some have obviously progressed but so far Flyhawk have tended to release 1 or 2 entirely new kits a year, by which I don't mean variations on something previously released. My point really is that it if they keep to that schedule, it is going to be some time before most of these are released. By the way, the 1/350 Prince of Wales is expected for release in three years, so 2021.... Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff_B Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 IHP 1/700 HMS Colossus Class light fleet carrier Imperial Hobby Production have formally announced their first new 1/700 injection moulded kit - the Royal Navy Colossus class light fleet carrier from the 1940's. Starling models will certainly be stocking these kits when they are released later in the year 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've been having a think about Trumpeter's new Royal Navy ship announcements and I think they must be using Profile Morskie plans during the kit design process. The 1/350 Calcutta, Colombo, Cornwall, Kent, 1939 Exeter, York, Naiad and Argonaut all correlate with PM plans whilst the Scylla was the subject of one of their print monographs prior to them going digital only.

Jerry L Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Well, you can always go for the 1/200 Trumpeter Titanic; only $399 US approximately, 357 Euros, or, 305 GBP. It is a little out of my league pricewise, and definitely way out of any acceptance of the wife's. Oh well!😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestar12chris Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Mikromir are working on two 1/350 versions of the USS Parche special ops submarine, short and stretched, the renders look impressive. There is a third US nuclear sub in the offing but no details yet. Also seen renderings for a Japanese Target A/D mini sub in 1/35, yummy!!

Aoshima's 1/700 HMS Norfolk is now out: LINK. Despite the hype saying that they'd corrected the scale problem that afflicted their Dorsetshire I see it shares the same waterline plate which doesn't bode well! They've also released the JMSDF's latest class of Aegis equipped destroyers, the JS Asahi with the second in class, the JS Shiranui forthcoming. First glimpse of Flyhawk's HMS Lively: LINK. Look inside their HMS Kelly: LINK.

Fear naught, the new Norfolk kit is the right size - Mitsuaki Kubota's review on Twitter: LINK. Norfolk top, Dorsetshire bottom. He also speculates that Aoshima are going to go back and re-tool the Dorsetshire. Makes sense as they haven't as of yet released a regular boxing, only the two specials. All info courtesy of the discussion about the kit over on SteelNavy: LINK. The kit is still in stock at HobbySearch, but I'm holding off buying one for now just in case Aoshima are going to to a Bismarck chase version and if they do indeed retool the Dorsetshire.

MikeR Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Sprue shots of Trumpeter's upcoming 1/700 Type 23 are now on their site: LINK. Unfortunately for those who prefer waterline (like me!) the hull is full hull only with no other option: Apparently it's slide moulded so unless you have a dremel it'll be a bit of an effort to waterline. I've also noticed that they haven't included the Kryten turret as an option, repeating the error in their 1/350 kits. Mike. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Aoshima have announced the HMS Kent "Benghazi Attack" in 1/700: LINK. Presumably Aoshima have been inspired by this (quoted from Wikipedia): Quote On 15 September 1940 the battleship Valiant, the aircraft carrier Illustrious, Kent, the anti-aircraft cruisers Calcutta and Coventry, and seven destroyers left Alexandria bound for Benghazi. During the night of 16/17 September 1940, aircraft from the Illustrious mined the harbour of Benghazi. They also attacked shipping in the harbour with torpedoes and bombs, sinking two destroyers and two merchant ships. Kent and two destroyers were detached to bombard Bardia while returning to Alexandria. During the night of 17/18 September 1940 the ship was hit in the stern by a torpedo from Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 bombers from the 279th Independent Torpedo Squadron (Italian: Squadriglia Autonoma Aerosiluranti) led by Carlo Emanuele Buscaglia. She was towed back to base by the destroyers with great difficulty. Hence the trio of SM.79s! Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
