NEWS

21st April 2008

New to us from NNT is their 1/700 HMS Renown 1916.  Price is GBP 98.68.

 

Real Model have brought out a new conversion kit for the modern armour enthusiasts amongst us.  RM35126 1/35 M1133 Stryker Medical Evacuation Vehicle (I'm sure they used to be ambulances in my day!) is a conversion set for the AFV Club Stryker kit, selling at GBP 53.79).  Also new from Real Model in 1/35 are RMA 35176 ISAF Vehicle Signs, RMA 35177 Afghan Maps, RMA 35181 US Army Cereal Boxes, RMA 35182 MRE Boxes & RMA 35180 Rhino Anti-IED Device.  All are priced at GBP 3.40.

 

15th April 2008

Trumpeter have released the 1/700 HMS Hood 1931 and 1/700 USS San Francisco 1942, both priced at GBP 13.61 and should be on the shelves in a few days.  On the same delivery should be a restock of the Richelieu, Jean Bart and 1/350 USS San Francisco, for all those that are waiting.

 

Apologies for a mistake we made over the reprinted Mike Starmer European camo book.  The new price is GBP 11.00, not GBP 10.00 as we originally stated.

 

11th April 2008

Three new 1/700 kits are on their way from WSW: 700-14 SMS Pillau 1916 (GBP 40.72), 700-15 SMS Hindenburg 1917 (GBP 72.30) & 700-36 SMS Elbing 1915/16 & Type AII Torpedoboot (GBP 45.06).  Unfortunately we've had top increase the price of WSW kits, together with most other European manufactured items, due to the poor state of the pound against the Euro.

 

Apologies to those who have sent us photo's for inclusion in the gallery over the past few months and are still waiting for them to appear.  I haven't forgotten you, but I've been gradually disappearing under a mountain of work.  Hopefully I'll have chance to post them over the next couple of weeks.

 

10th April 2008

A new title from Squadron Signal: USS Tennessee in WWII.  Price is GBP 13.99.

 

Fujimi have announced a forthcoming pack of 1/350 IJN Crew Figures.  Price TBA, but it supposedly contains 350 figures, but we're unconvinced, as the fret we saw contains 60 figures, which don't go into 350 very well!

 

WEM PE 758 1/700 Kriegsmarine Pocket Battleship is now with the etchers and so should be with us in a couple of weeks.  Price will be GBP 6.77 and you can take a look at the artwork.

 

    WEM PE 14401 1/144 Gato Class Submarines is also there for delivery on the 15th, price having been set at GBP 11.87.  Take a look at that one too.

 

Unfortunately we find we underestimated the production costs of the re-launched 1/350 Fairmile D kits in the Narrow Seas series.  We've therefore had to increase the price to GBP 11.49.

 

8th April 2008

Some more information has come through on the forthcoming Fujimi 1/350 IJN Kongo; delivery is expected May/June and price will be between GBP 100 & GBP 120.  The first batch will be a limited run version that includes crew figures and brass main gun barrels.  Supply is likely to be limited initially, so if you want one of the first arrivals, pre-order as soon as possible.

 

The Aoshima 1/350 Takao & Chokai have arrived with the distributors, so should be with us in the next few days, and the price has been fixed at GBP 46.77 each.  Once again numbers in the first batch are limited and we may not even be able to supply all those on back-order, so be prepared for a further wait if you haven't already ordered.  Some of the old Aoshima 1/700 kits have arrived with them though, so the following have been added to the price lists:

Amagi (GBP 13.57), Chokai 1942 (GBP 13.15), Fuso 1942 (GBP 16.98), Fuso 1944 (GBP 19.96), Yamashiro 1944 (GBP 16.98), Tone (GBP 12.30) & Maya (GBP 12.72).

The artwork is now finished for WEM PE 35101 1/350 Nagato set, so take a look at Fret 1 & Fret 2.  Price will be GBP 49.32.  This is the biggest set we've yet produced and once Peter Hall has responded to the therapy and we can take him out of his nice padded bedroom, he'll be cracking on with a couple of new projects, these being WEM K 752 1/700 HMS Daring Type 45 Destroyer and K 3572 1/350 HMS Astute 2008.  We are also considering a 1/350 HMS Daring, which we will run if we get 25 firm orders.  Cost will probably be in the region of GBP 150, so if you feel the need, please place your orders in the online shop now!

 

These latest projects have been made possible by two new plan sets from Jecobin: 1/192 HMS Daring 2008 (GBP 18.68) and 1/192 HMS Astute 2008 (GBP 11.87).

We've added WEM PE 35109 1/350 San Francisco Class Cruiser to the forthcoming list of PE sets.  At risk of flogging Peter Hall to death, this will no doubt prove a popular set, so will be quite high in the list of priorities.
