Who makes the best versions in 1/350th scale of these kits?? I know White Ensign used to make HMS Gloworm, but don’t I believe anymore? Can trumpter’s G class be built into HMS Glowworm?
Hi Mike,
The WEM Glowworm is still available through Atlantic models, as far as I am aware the only Admiral Hipper available in 1/350 is the Trumpeter kit, it does need a bit of work, but it’s not too bad.
I hope that helps,
Cheers

Can the Admrial Hipper be made into the timeframe she and HMS Glowworm came together?
Hi Mike,
The Trumpeter kit is 1941 fit, there are a few differences, I built the a year or so back in a late summer 1940 scheme. There a few difference, from memory nothing major. I will see what I can find in my references. Some good photos on the web.
May take me a while with Christmas coming up.
Cheers, SI
Hi Si,
Many thanks for the reply and just sent the information when you can, it will be greatly appreciated and to be honest I am in the HMS Warspite 2nd Battle of Narvik rabbit hole atm.
And by that I mean wanting to backdate the Academy kit, to 1940, I have just ordered the Hobbyboss Type IX-B to build U-64, have kits of both the Fairy Swordfish Mk I floatplane, Supermarine Walrus both in 1/48th, I will also convert a 1/350th Fairy Swordfish into a floatplane version. And am currently debating if between Zevesda, Dragon and Iron Shipwrights I could possibly make Z13 I believe named the Erich Koellner.
That in turn is leading me into a Dornier 217 with Fritz-X bomb.
Then its a toss up between either the Admrial Hipper and HMS Glowworm, IJN ISE or the Roma?? I only started thinking about the Roma ysterday, and thought it could be a good tie in with HMS Warspite and the Dornier 217 Fritz-X.
Have a great Christmas
Cheers
Mike
