*Inj. molded plastic* Upcoming Ship Kit Releases

[Atma]

Thanks for the links
Im sure the stars of the show(USS Saratoga and HMS Ark Royal) will make a lot of people happy !

[Admiral John Byng]

Thanks for the links Hanchang Kuo.

The Saratoga looks nice. I had worried it might be a reboxing of the ancient Hasegawa kit but it is obviously a new tool.

The Ark Royal looks OK but I hope someone comes up with new 4.5 inch gunhouses and pom poms. Interestingly it looks like they have put a Barracuda on her which is wrong as she sank long before they were developed. However as it is a test shot maybe they just put that for the sake of it.

Perhaps this should be a Fulmar, the others appear to be a Skua and a Albacores (Swordfish?).

Aoshima's 1/200 Barracuda(probably from an Anime?)
http://p.twpl.jp/show/orig/SAIsb

From the anime Detective Conan (Case Closed in US).

[RuiMatos]

The 1/200 Barracuda model is from Future Boy Conan anime series (Hayao Miyazaki's 1978~9)

Also of interest (very!!!) is from the same series a 1/72 scale Falco seaplane

Cheers
Rui

Maxim, I am sure you are right, it looks more like a Barracuda but maybe they are working on it. I think you got the others right too.

I just happenned to come across Mr Randall Wilsons painting on his FB page and since he is the premier artist for the Trumpeter box art and several of his works are indeed on Trumpys kits box arts it is safe to assume judging by his upcoming or completed paintings what the future holds at least in terms of releases from Trumpeter?

I see a painting of New York and Texas but most interestingly i see a painting of Yorktown and Enterprise 1943.I am asking if anyone heard anything of a release of either specially Enterprise in 1/350 by Trumpeter then.
