Is anyone old enough to remember a Frog kit of the early '60’s, probably 1/350 of an RN destroyer, possibly Tribal class? I can remember that it was a reasonble kit and I would like to find it again. Anyone know if it might be available under a different company name? I have never been able to find any trace of it but I know it existed. This is a long shot but I thought I would try.
Thanks.
Well, I’m probably not old enough to remember in person, but I’m pretty sure you mean the Battle-class destroyer that was offered at least in two different boxings; that kit was in 1/304 or something. All the other destroyer kits Frog offered were in 1/500 (Tribal, H/I-class, R/S/T/U Type 15 conversion). For some reason, when Novo took over the moulds, they seem to have confined themselves to the 1/500 kits, which is why these still appear fairly often.
The Battle-class on the other hand unfortunately seems to be quite rare these days - I haven’t seen one in some years.

Thanks for the info! It’s really more than I expected. At least I still have hope of getting finding one eventually.
Cheers.
