I've heard that Dragon has a Soviet/Russian 1:700 Kirov cruiser. Is this true? If so, is it any good? I'd really hate to work with HP's resin ship!

Trumpeter, Panda (which is a DML/Dragon company) and I think Skywave are developing all four ships of the Kirov class. They are not out yet and there is not an anticipated release date yet. It was anounced a few months ago for their 18 month upcoming releases. As I understand it they will let us know the release date around 90 days before it happens.

Doh!! Didn't think I'd have to wait some time for it! Well, good things are worth waiting for. Thanks for the info!
