*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[Timmy C]

Yes Uwe, check the list!

[Truus]

Which list?

[Timmy C]

The very first post in this thread...

[Angeliccypher]

So Dragon announced (again) the 1/350 Atlanta at Nuremburg. Is this still in "we will make it eventually" status or has it been bumped up?

[Steve Joyce]

When? Oh when, is Trumpeter going to do a Baltimore and Maryland in 350? Comon you have done them in 700 !!!

[kylewoody]

ME WANT TEXAS!!! Seriously, 350th of the New York class? Awesome. I was just about to start a scratchbuild on the USS Texas in that scale but I may have to wait now...

Anyone who could post news on even suspect release dates, would be much obliged.

I would like to have 1/700 New York class 1945

[Timmy C]

Blue Ridge Hobbies is releasing them, as noted in the list...

Good news, since its a Trumpeter kit, you'll only have to scratchbuild the hull

A little bit of (justified) sarcasm ...

If they really make here a major error on a ship which is still alive, well ...

Well, they did it on the 1:200 Missouri kit around the shafts.
(But even so, I'm pretty excited to see a 1:350 Texas and her poor, forgotten sister New York on the slate.)

That's why I wrote "justified sarcasm" Sean ...

But as you, I'm happy to see finally another 1/350 US Dreadnought in plastic beside Arizona ... and the "paper project" of Dragon with their since years announced USS Pennsylvania

[Henk]

Trumpeter site updated with an realease date for an 1/200 destroyer kit!

[Ady]

What destroyer? The website wont load for me.

[Timmy C]

Just the Chinese Type 51C that I've had on the list for a while.

[burcham8]

My father-in-law served on the USS New York. I sure would like to build one for him before he goes...

In case anyone's interested and is not in the habit of looking through the list regularly, Bronco's 1/350 Type 052D destroyers have been released.

You can see some CAD and art for the kits here:

Note the two kits reflect minor differences in mast electronics between the two ships.

Airfix announced an LCVP in 1//72nd just before Christmas which many, myself included, assumed would be a reissue of the fairly old one dating from some time back. In fact, to judge by the sprue picture shown here

http://www.plastik-modellbau.org/wp-con ... ld-153.jpg

it is a new tooling with a different assembly including separate hull bottom and sides and no sign of the beach obstacles that took up a fair part of the parts count.

let's hope it is better detailed .....!

Hi all,
Anybody any idea what is the difference between the forthcomming 1/350 bb34 and bb35 from trumpeter. For i have understand both will be in their 1914-18 guise. As both are sisters what will be the difference?
Greetings and thanks,
Henk

[kylewoody]

No idea as of yet but I'm watching/listening closely. I was an inch away from starting a scratchbuild on BB35, so hopefully this will keep me from making a mess of plastic if I can wait. REALLY hope they do one in WWI fit, another in WW2 fit. Would make sense to me...

If they're both gonna be WWI, I might as well start scratching now instead of waiting. Superstructure, cage masts, AA (or lack of), bilge additions, etc etc. all different...
