Nikko Model is offering 2 new ship models and 2 new naval accessory sets. All ship kits come with photo-etch details.

For the ships, first is a waterline contemporary French frigate, the Suffren D602 (Kit 7085). The Suffren served from 1967 to 2008. The kit lists her as in a 1990 configuration. The PE offers very fine antennae and railings and the tiny missiles appear to be well molded.

The second ship is a waterline WWII IJN Seaplane Tender, the Kamoi (Kit 7086). It has what appears to be 'Jake' and 'Pete' floatplanes and even a roll down ramp at the aft of the ship for the aircraft.

The naval accessory sets are all WWII era, molded in resin.

First is a 5 pack of 40mm IJN single AA guns (Kit ZW 7044J). Each gun is one solid piece. Take a look at the image of one next to a match stick!

Second is a 4 pack of LCVP Landing craft (Kit ZW 7044U). Each craft is made up of two pieces.

All kits and sets can be purchased direct from Niko or various on-line hobby retailers like Free Time Hobbies, Pacific Front Hobbies, White Ensign Models, and L’Arsenal.com.
