If this one is injection molded, I will stand up clap and throw my hat into the air with a loud "HUZZAH". Not that I am going to get one (at least not yet) but just for the fact that it is new and different. Maybe they'll do one of the LIttorio class next and Rodgers all time fav Warspite.
They start making enough variety of these, and I may do several. Sure beats those 1200 scale puppies I've picked up.

Hi Steve
Yes, it's going to be injection
This should appear in US and Europe under the label Trumpeter (as with the previous PitRoad/Trumpeter cooperations).
And the price shall be a surprise too... although I know nothing about this, but similar to the other Trumpeter 1/700 scale models!
A good change of pace

Interesting that they made her in 1955 rig, and not the way she fought at Casablanca. This is really nice, like Steve says, something new and different. A very nice change. Maybe Trumpy, er Pit Road, will decide to upscale her to 1/350. One can only hope.
Thanks for thinking of me Steve, but I'm holding out for the old girl in 1/350. (crossing all fingers and toes as I write this.) Maybe tomorrow, on 777, somebody will announce one.

Nice, 1/700 and injection.
Any ideas on what would need to be done to back date her to her 1942 appearance?
Now where is that injection Littorio, Dunkerque, Ciao Duilio (modernised), USS Alaska, HMS Warspite (WWII fit) and HMS Ramillies (WWII fit) to name a few.

There is to be an earlier fit of the kit available too, so no work will be needed to backdate once that comes out

Take off #2 turret and put a bunch of holes in her!
(Photo from the AirGroup4 website.)
A Richelieu, circa 1944, is supposedly in the offing as well.
