VMA131Marine Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Trumpeter is showing a 1/700 Queen Elizabeth class carrier in their latest catalogue, item 06751. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellE Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 What caught my eye are the Queens Houses, 05625 and 05626... (Nelson and Rodney in 1/350) 😇 They've been in the Trumpeter catalogue around about 5 years now... Surely it's time they materialize? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Gollin Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 . Sorry, not "Queen's houses" but "Queen Anne Mansions" - and I totally agree about the long wat for these. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 And 1/200 Olympic and Britannic to accompany the Titanic if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will be the first kits of the Olympic-class in post-April 1912 configuration. Although, since Britannic was still under construction, she ended up significantly more modified than Olympic did. I’m assuming Trumpeter will ignore the extra 2 feet or so of width Britannic had due to having a double hull that extended partway up her sides not just a double bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTX Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I wonder if a 1/350 might follow? Will be interesting also to see what airing they give with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagdtiger1 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Yet another announcement from trumpeter that I'll take with a massive bucketful of salt. I'll believe it when I see it. Along with those Nelson-class battleships... Edited February 14, 2023 by Jagdtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could afford several at that price! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid, a Trumpeter kit accurate even down to the cost overruns that are bound to happen before delivery if that's the quoted price! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Ho hum ... I'd much prefer a 1:350 kit of a PROPER Queen Elizabeth - the superdreadnought, as commissioned, pre-Jutland ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the only company actively producing a wide range ship subjects in multiple scales. Maybe VeryFire will venture into WWI and Flyhawk is eventually to start producing kits in 1/350. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The annoying part is that Trumpeter already do QE and Warspite in their earliest configurations - in 1:700. Shouldn't be too hard for them to double the size ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
