May have to buy two Naiads & build one as HMS Ulysses on her final run (will mean having to go through the book, again, & work out all of the damage she took, though).

Which vessels? Are they the Leander ones? If so I will have to buy a couple as I love the look of that class.

Both are Dido class, just different variants.

It's Trumpeter. They always get British subjects wrong.

While I agree that HMS Belfast is a more boring choice than sat, HMS Fiji, there aren't that many final appearance Belfasts out there, so I'll get one.

The i/100 aircraft on the second page were interesting, especially since the drawing of the Aichi M6A bears only a passing resemblance to the actual aircraft, which had a license-built DB601, not a radial, and had a much more streamlined canopy than depicted.

The drawing is an Aichi E13A, looks like a mixup on the part of the catalog production staff.

The Trumpeter updated new releases for 2025/26 (it includes previous anouncements that are still too appear (thibk the 72nd Mig 19 dates to 2008 !!!)

From 1/700 modeller view they have added the German H class battleship and O class battlecruisers plus USS Midway in her original 1946 fit and late angled deck version.

The good news for me is that the 1/700 HMS Queen Elizabeth CVF carrier has gone from a stock photo to box art, which generally means the kit will be released in the next 12 months  :thumbsup:

It's decades since I read the book, but I seem to recall an He111 embedded in a stern turret in the final pages.

It would be even better if they brought out a (much) wider range of 1/350 naval aircraft (especially British, 1914-2025) ... & I suppose the rich buggers can have their 1/200 scale aircraft, too.

Hmmm, was that the real reason it was over there? To get measured up for this?  ;)

Although I would prefer it to be in 1/600 scale, I might get one just to turn it into a conventional carrier without the ramp. I also might never get around to doing more than thinking about it.

Just got one of my regular emails from Jadlam Models. £69.95!!! Cost (like value) is always subjective but, that seems to be an awful lot of money for what will be a very modest sized model! No, I won't be buying it before anyone asks! ;)  ;D . However, it seems very high when compared to prices of their other 1/700 kits.
