bootneck Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Spooky! Last night I dug out my 1:450 scale Hasegawa HMS Vanguard thinking "I must overcome my non-standard scale bias and build this thing". Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 A straight-deck Midway in 1/700 ? Aren't you joking? That's the greatest news since the Apollo 11 on the Moon ! Moreover - knowing the Very Fire a little bit there should be the CoralSea and FDR somewhere in the pipeline. And it means the 1/700 F8F at last Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 A new HMS Vanguard has been on my wishlist for a while and that 1/700 SMS Baden is quite tempting as well; we're spoiled for choice. Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Not totally spoiled though - the 1/700 Vanguard is on my wishlist too. It's only lack of place for the 1/350 post-Jutland capital ships Nevertheless Montana has been issued by VF both in 1/700 and 1/350... So there's always hope Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Really pleased - 'C' Class and HMS Renown - can now do two of my grandfather's ships in 1:350. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex SZ1996 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 good news. 1:350 HMS Renown, HMS Vanguard (1946) and IJN Aoba it is for me. still, the ship i want the most in 1:350, is the IJN Hyuga or IJN Ise in full gun layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne SF Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 VeryFire's HMS Renown. Has anyone heard what rig she will be in. I personally hope late WWII, she was a stunningly good looking ship after the major refits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex SZ1996 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 looks like late WW2, saw this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Ned Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The illustration Alex posted isn't, I'm afraid, much help. It's a (poorly) colourised version of a well-known photo of Renown in Hvalfjord which seems to have been taken in January 1942 - may not be an indication of the eventual model's configuration, but the photo is not late war.

Phil Gollin Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 . Because of the recent 1/350th Group III T-class submarine and recently announced HMS Vanguard I thought that these two future release books might be of interest (and even inspire) ; British Submarines in Two World Wars https://amazon.co.uk/British-Submarines-Two-World-Wars/dp/1526738163/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1548593846&sr=8-10&keywords=british+submarines The Last British Battleship: HMS Vanguard, 1946-1960 https://amazon.co.uk/Last-British-Battleship-Vanguard-1946-1960/dp/1526752263/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1548593942&sr=8-2&keywords=hms+vanguard+book . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just remember seeing her (as a very young lad!) being towed through Rhu Narrows into the Gareloch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
