Just seen that Pit-Road are to release a 1/700 Hyuga.  Looks like it comes with Merlins, Seahawks and MH-53s.  Temptation to whiff it with a ski-jump and JSFs is strong

^ Whoa, those EH-101s are HUGE!  :o

Pit Road also announced a 1/144 SAAB J 35 F/J Draken at the Tokyo Hobby Show. LINK!  :party:

Yes, the urge to add a ski-jump is considerable, and to station AV-8J and FV-8J Harriers onboard.

Don't know if you've ever seen one up close, but it is a surprisingly big chopper.

"Darth" has provided a look in the box of the Pit-Road 1/144 SAAB J-35 Drakens over on ARC. LINK!

Two models per box. At the top right is the CafeReo "Aera88" "toy" for size comparison.





Looks rather nice, doesn't it? :bow:

Nice shots of the box art, sprues etc.

Aosima also have one due for July which is slightly cheaper and pics from the Shizuoka Hobby Show show it with a full hanger deck unlike the recessed lifts on pitroad version

That's cool, thanks for the head's up, Geoff!

I know I can force myself to wait for Aoshima, as long as they have waterline hulls.

In other Pit Road news, they're releasing (re-releasing?  I seem to remember some CG stuff from a while back) a couple of Japanese Coast Guard ships.

AND...a new weapon set; Early Times JMSDF

http://modelshipwrights.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=6963&mode=thread&order=0



I see they've got hedgehog launchers and Weapon Alfa in there.  Pretty cool.

There's a Bofors 375mm 4-barrel ASW rocket launcher in there too, and a variety of 3" guns. All useful for non-Japanese builds. :thumbsup:

This has a few more details

The instructions show a VDS variable Depth Sonar array which should prove rather handy.

BTW the 4 barrel Bofors ASW mortar is included on the earlier US/JMSDF weapon sprues too.
