The Wooksta!

I'll wait for Airfix to do one.  At least theirs will be accurate, having two experts on the type based in the UK and one of those is building a 1:1 scale one.

Trumpeter and Hobby Boss are notoriously expensive on Hobby Search/1999.co.jp. They're practically guaranteed to be cheaper almost everywhere else.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Often the first chance to see what in the box and what the instructions are like to give you an idea on what the kits like before looking at a Hong Kong shop for a better price if its a Chinise produced kit  ;D

Trumpeter are showing snippets from their next Catalogue on Facebook and one (well actually a pair) ship kit is of real interest, they are going to do a 1/350 DKM Graf Zeppelin and DKM Peter Strosser Aircraft Carriers !.

So those should be rather impressive Project Cancelled/What-if builds as the larger scale allows for a greater level of detail for both the ship and the aircraft.

Oddly I didn't see the HMS Ark Royal which was previewed at a show earlier in the year so may not be on the page snippets shown as already announced.

^ And a 1/48 Type VII U-boat!  :o  :rolleyes: :blink:
Personally, I'm looking forward to their 1/350 Rodney and the slew of 1/72 Soviet armour. :cheers:

She better have an interior framework (like their 1/144 Gato)...and SWMBO would kill me if I ordered it when released
