colin ritchie Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I spotted this in the coverage of the Tokyo hobby shop last week,on the Trumpeter/Hobby Boss stand.. an RN Monitor in 350th? And a link to the whole page ... It looks fascinating anyway Edited October 15, 2013 by colin ritchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Whilst it's being discussed http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234929700-new-ship-related-releases/page-8 Perhaps this should have its own thread. It still looks off, with the underwater hull being far too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserguy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi All, There is a very entertaining thread on Steelnavy regarding this kit. Read it and laugh. Best Wishes, Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Here's a good profile photo of HMS Roberts (circa 1945), and below that her sister HMS Abercrombie (1946), both c/o Wikipedia.com (Date of HMS Roberts photo edited - incorrectly labelled on Wiki, photo originally from IWM collection, but not dated - 24 Oct 13) Edited October 24, 2013 by Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John @ WEM Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Based on the camo scheme in that photo of Roberts, it's NOT 1942. That's Admiralty Standard Camouflage she's wearing, making it 1945, not 1942. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I imagine I'll buy one anyway if only to crib ideas for a 1/350 HMS Saracen based on HMS Erebus & Terror. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserguy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Stevhnz, It's on Steelnavy, page 5, and part of the thread started by Brandon at Freetime. I think the thread starts "Check this out from Trumpeter" or something like that. Bits of the thread were quite amusing, but tame by Steelnavy's former standards. Will.

stevehnz Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks Will, I was looking in the wrong places before. Some "spirited" discussion. I'll wait to hear some objective reviews from someone who has actually handled it before deciding either way. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
