*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[Bill Clarke]

Found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_A-150_battleship

what a BB.

[Atma]

Is a what if subject based on a true Super Yamato(Bill's link). Not like the old model, which was essentially a IJN Yamato/IJN Musashi with 50 cm guns. This one has an new hull and new AA guns(the 10 cm ones).
Design A-150 was an entirely new design that derived little from the design of the IJN Yamato class.

[Bill Clarke]

Got to get me one of those.

[PetrolGator]

Sold. Now, Fujimi, why don't you make a 1/700 Montana?

[Bill Clarke]

And a Lion class and German H class

[Bill Clarke]

Just found this, wonder why Fujimi haven't kitted this one.

So it would also add a 4 main turret then ? And it would carry the same aa turrets as the Akizuki i believe, 6 on each side?

[Bill Clarke]

Yep, but those guns are 20 inch, and it looks like they have armoured 25mm triples on the deck.

An H39 Class BB is actually in the works for 1:700 plastic.

No, is a light weight A-150. With 3 double 50 cm guns, no triple 15,5 cm guns and many DP 10 cm guns(same as IJN Akizuki, IJN Taiho and IJN Oyodo class but with a unique design armoured enclosures, an antiblast/antiblister heavy weight design).
That particular design was actually chosen by the A-150 committee responsible for constructing this huge warship.
Also the main bridge is a bit different, with the addition for more 10 cm armored directors.

Timmy, PT-109 has been released:

There is no mention of the Italeri 1/35 scale X-Craft in your list. Is it still due for release?

[Roberto]

Just out of curiosity, I cannot quite remember how many years ago did Dragon announce their 1/350 Pennsylvania and CL-51 Atlanta cruiser?
At least it feels like years to me. Other model kit producers are launching products almost unannounced and they seem to be doing quite alright.

The preview of the 2013 catalogue shows the X craft and Crew for the Vosper MTB in 1/35th

Thanks Francis. I thought Italeri had forgotten it and it's nice to see that there is a crew for the Vosper after all.
