Given that they’re just illustrated with the usual (doubtless unlicensed) IWM photographs I’m going to be bold and state those kits do not exist.

True, Jamie, but we can dream :innocent:

Finally we get them. Hopefully they are very good Kits. Now if someone would do a WW1 HMS Iron Duke…Cheers mark

I’d like that in 1:700th. I built the Airfix 1:600th OOB many, many years ago but I understand it is either an inter-war configuration or a mash-up from how she was at various times in her career. I liked it when, a few years ago, a brief snippet of full-colour movie footage of her in the late 1930s was found.

Cheers,

M

Thanks for that. There only seems to be a Deluxe version, and all the upgrade stuff is wasted on me!

Cheers,

The deluxe kit does not have a full set of PE etc only brass barrels and a few other things. I have the kit and I won’t use the brass barrels etc but just use the basic plastic parts. There is a version with tons of PE also. I have read that they will not make a version without some PE etc

Well!

If Trumpeter aren’t going to deliver, perhaps Dragon will!!! :grin:

Definitely a Nelson, looks like a late war refit judging by the topmast. I hope it is 1/350. Suprised that Dragon still works on new stuff…

Wonderful news :grin::grin: The price though might reach 200€ though.

Now lets hope they release the Pennsylvania they announced 10+ years ago …

Indeed, now I have two problems: first trying to swing for 1/350 Enterprise CV-6; Second, Rodney…?

Followed closely by detailing sets by Infini/Pontos/Flyhawk etc… for each :flushed:

I am also waiting for the detail sets. I have a resin Nelson/Rodney kit. The basic stuff is ok but detailwise it could benefit from some upgrades. I might even get the Dragon kit and do the other ship (the resin kit can be built into both sister ships).
