Hey dan found an awesome fourm on this class! Check it out im sure youll like! http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.p ... ding-ship/
As for those wierd air ducts they are on the front side of the bridge. They are those big triangular objects, under the twin aa mount. Some landingships have them some dont :/

Also there is a video of Landingship No.21, Type No.1 class being straffed and sunk/beached http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxQjSkJBCI8#t=1 Enjoy!

That's a pretty good link/synopsis of the class.

AFAIK, all of the ships have those intakes to either side of the lower bridge face.

I can not find info on these kits do you have a link? Are they upgrade sets? Thanks!

[berend]

Looks like I translated not correctly. Items not yet available, they will be realeased apparently at the end of this month. I don't think it is an upgrade. Just noticed that it is a complete model. Not much plastic left.

But, they will be sharp looking.

I've been wondering when this would happen. With this new RB type 2, we are now seeing 100% PE ship models.

[redoctober27]

Just picked up the type 2 pe ship .. Should i keep it as a all pe ship or do a half pe ship and half plastic ship? And will there be a type 1 PE ship release from rainbow as well?
