New 1/350 Battleships ???

Not exactly battleships I know, but I’d like OH Perry, and Knox frigates in 350 scale plastic, as well as a few others, like a regular spruance (My beloved USS Caron!)[:D]

I thought the scuttle-butt was, that a Plastic 1/350 SoDak or NC class BB was coming out soon.
Not sure when soon is. [:D]

O’boy, no comment from Mr. Herne.
This must mean the rumor is true! [}:)]

Jeff,
So will I be asking for a U.S.S. North Carolina in 1/350th this Christmas?

I take the 5th…

O’boy, O’boy, O’boy!!!

yeah but what about the Texas???

In 1/350, plastic, with all its bells and whistles

Guess we should be glad we’re getting a new 1/350 Plastic BB that’s not a Yamo, Mo, or Biz.
If I had my choice, it would be a WW1 British or German BB/BC/AC. [}:)][}:)][}:)]

Go build something else and wait…soon enough…sheesh. It takes me months to build a ship…

J

And like we all just build one ship at a time![(-D] Gotta have them all at once[:D]

You mean I’m the only one that works on one ship at a time??? :slight_smile:

Jeff

I suppose I’m going to have to turn into a model collector! I’ve already got to many in the ship yard under construction and waiting for a slot.

Just part of my dream list,but if I don’t mention 'em,
nobody will know…

Any update on the postings above that new offerings of the North Carolina or the Hood would be out in time for my Christmas list ? I’ve seen offers for pre ordering the Lexington but no BB’s Or did Jeff mean my 2005 Christmas list ?

Man that Lady Lex will be sweet, but a few new battlewagons would be nice as well

a BB Texas would be nice, she’s about 7 miles down the street from me and nearing comletion of her major restoration parts. It’s be easy to get a reference for it! I love the look of that ship, not as sleek as a New Jersey BB but still looks mean. And being able to climb all over her is a treat. The USS Cavalla is also near me so I plan on building one of those soon… could put them side by side…

Also the USS Stewart DE-238 (Edsall class) sits right beside the Cavalla, will have to see if they make a kit for her…

Here is a new RN Roma 1/350 that releases this month but out of my price range, ARG!

Axis is also working on Fuso in 1/350…now THERE’s a kit I will be purchasing!

I’ve heard that the new BBs from Trumpeter are coming along nicely, but still no exact release date.

Jeff

Jeff Thanks for the update but the Fuso model just makes my wish list grow even more !!! In anticipation of the North Carolina I got out my technical reference on her by Randall Stoker and plan a visit to her in the spring Hopefully the time frame for the release will match up.
