So is this the basis for the rumored 1/350 Richelieu that Steve mentioned or are they doing both a 1/700 Jean Bart and a 1/350 Richelieu?

The 1/350 Richelieu is more than a rumor

Ahoy Robert!

That's a compliment mate, and one that we take pride in...scooping is all part of what makes up a good news team, my friend...

Thanks for the info Martin. From the photo it's impossible to tell what scale she is, and I don't read Japanese for the caption.

Glad to see more 1/350 ships, even though I may not be able to afford them right away.
