About bloody time too!
And it looks as if they haven't corrected the aft deckhouse layout inaccuracies.

Nothing has reached the UK yet.

Now, when can we expect Prinz Eugen?

Ah, the curse of the scratchbuilder--just when you are committed to a project, a company comes out with an injection molded kit of the exact same subject!

I guess we'll know for certain in a few months...

This one is definitely on my want list, but I will probbly pick it up later. I saw something i really liked included with the kit. BRASS !!!! I am not one that wants to replace everything on the kit so i lke the railings and the cranes and what not they included. For once an all inclusive kit for me !!!!!!!!!!!

That is one of the nice things about Trumpy kits. They seem not to sell out quickly. I don't know if this is becaus they are producing more or the Japanese market isn't snatching them all up. I think the SHokaku is sold out and it is just now being shipped. I ordered the extra planes and noticed the next day that the 2 types I had ordered were now backorders. My order shows ready so I guess I got the last of them.
