Shar2 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Oh wow! I never expected that. A good year for the RN modellers and a terrible year for their wallets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Holy smoke! Fantastic news on this. It will definitley be bought by me and will not make it into the stash, she will go straight onto the workbench. It will be interesting to see how different it is from the Iron Shipwight resin kit I built last year. I hope it is cheaper! My grandfather served on Dreadnought, and I will get any kit of her, including Masterbox when they eventually release the 1/700 version. I already have the Combrig 1/700 resin one and the Digital Navy papercard one. I am devoted to the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 1/350 Dreadnought? Oh boy. I'm really excited about this, and the Queen Elizabeth, and the Warspite, and the rumoured R class and Nelson/Rodney, and the Type 45. Life is beginning to get exciting for RN fans.

MikeR Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 ...... including Masterbox when they eventually release the 1/700 version..... I wonder if Zvezda are using the same CAD as Masterbox then? Good to see, nevertheless! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Reeder Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Judging by other Zvesda warship kits ,I guess the price will be around the £50 to £60,pretty damn good if I`m correct! Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrvr6 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The RN is going to rule the 'seas' again! dreadnaught was great ship that made every cap ship in the rule obsolete at a stroke . the problem is that included all royal navy vessels too so the huge advantage the british had over everybody else almost disappeared overnight lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Velociweiler Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 whats the quailty like ive never done a zveda kit????? dave Superb. Not 'state-of-the-art'. 'Defines-the-art'. Anyone know if this ship can form the basis of models of the follow-ons - the Vanguard, St Vincent etc? As far as the other classes of Heavy from the era are concerned, maybe we need to adopt the popular phrase of the time...? ...'We want Eight and we won't wait'.... S'pose we'll have to tho'....

The idea first appeared in print in 1903 in an article written by the Italian naval architect, Vittorio Cuniberti. It was the speed of construction of Dreadnought that was most exceptional and demonstrated British industrial power at that time. Early 20th Century naval history is something of a hobby of mine. My grandfather was German and served throughout WW1 on the BC SMS Moltke (hence my adopted login name). One of the reasons I've just taken up modelling is that eventually I want to build a model of his ship. All the best Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
