I got it from the horses mouth that late next year there will be a 350 scale Littorio class in plastic. I have the Pola class heavy cruiser in plastic, seems to be an adequate kit

You are just going to have to wait like the rest of us. It is still in the beginning phases so we have a year and a half to go before planned release. It still may be 2 years wait based on track record of company. But when it comes, it will be worth it..

Hi, i have the new kit of Hobbyboss... the italian heavy cruiser Pola in 1:350...
is the same Trumpeter or Mini Hobbie Models... Hobbyboss use the same plans...

A few of us old timers remember when Armorama was just one big net and ship modeling was just one of the categories under it. Gary was one of a very few of us who really loved building model ships. He and Rui, Rodger myself and I think Mark and Gator kind of carried the forum and helped it grow with our enthusiasm. It was the first to get branched off into it's own forum, unfortunately Gary had died of a heart attack and never got to see what he had worked so hard at come to full fruition. We have group builds called campaigns and the first 2 were one for Flattops and one for Battleships. BOth were named to memorial ize him. He was a very close friend of mine and I still honor him with that banner.

Still miss ya buddy
