Aoshima's upcoming HMS Norfolk in 1/700

First look from the Shizouka Show: LINK.

 

Looks like it's a complete new tool that doesn't share any parts with their Dorsetshire kit:

Norfolk sprues: LINK.

 

Judging from the blurb on the background card it appears that Aoshima have corrected the length/scale problem that affects the Dorsetshire kit. They've also announced the Kent and Cornwall too, although the prelim images for those two are incomplete.

Nice. 1/700 WL HMAS Canberra, Australia or Shropshire release would be welcome but can't see this happening. Guess it isn't too hard to modify Kent kit?
