That one will also be released. In fact the render shows the Mecidiye, rather than Prut, since the had different guns.

Hi Vladimir,

what is the release date of the Hoche and the Virbus ?

Cheers
Eric

I've asked about the porters, and they said that they are in the process of re-releasing them. So they should be available very soon.

Hoche should be out in a couple of months in both scales. Viribus Unitis is only in the process of being cut, so most likely release date for it is the end of this or the beginning of the next year.

I'm looking forward to the Turkish cruiser. I'll buy one as soon as it is ready.

We've finally released three Poltavas in 1/350th:

Another two long awaited models have been released, this time it's an armored cruisers HMS Kent and Ryurik II in 1/350 scale:

Would it be possible to get a translation of the ship details on the instruction sheet for Rurik? I think I have made out 'Vickers' and 'Barrow'.

I have put some photos of the builder's model, of Rurik, in my Photobucket album, if anyone is interested.

I had a chance to see Rurik, Kent, Poltava and Gremyashiy last weekend, and all are fantastic kits!

Looks like in the 1/700 New Zealand will be released in June and the 1/350th scale in September. The same goes for most of the other delayed models from last year.

Vladimir

Thanks Vlad

Waiting for the 1/700 HMS Lord Nelson too...

Finally two more of the long promised models have been released - French Battleship Hoche and Danton in 1/350 scale. The kits come with photoetch. Hoche comes with the full hull and waterline versions, Danton is in waterline only.

Any news on the HMS Lord Nelson battleship ?
Thanks in advance.

Is their any news on the 1/700 Project 82 Stalingrad post war battleship, as that looks to be a very interesting project that appears to be stuck in limbo.
