Managed to snag a pair of the new Aoshima HMS Illustrious in 1/700 scale off eBay from Japan, so will probably arrive in the new year.
These are newly retooled, replacing their rather crude previous Illustrious kit, so are at least acceptable, and one of them is going to be converted to the updated Illustrious used as a trials carrier with the round downs built up, revised Island and armament. Unfortunately this new kit is likely to be surpassed by the new Flyhawk version of the Illustrious probably due out in 2017, as they also clashed on the WW2 Hermes kits this year.
A shame really as both kits are circa 1940/41 so its Taranto and the Malta Convoys where one could have focused on the British Pacific Fleet late war versions with late war air groups.
Hopefully one of these two will have a go at the British Light Fleet Carriers in plastic at some stage.
