Hi everyone.
I have been exchanging E'mails with Dmitry Nedogonov from Combrig Models.
He tells me that they are planning HMS Indefatigable ( battle cruiser ) and also HMS New Zealand in 1/700.
I was specifically talking to him about future 1/350 kits of British battlecruisers and he tells me that providing their new 1/350 kits sell reasonably well then they will try either Indefatigable, Invincible or New Zealand also in 1/350 scale.
I for one will be keeping my fingers crossed.
Cheers everyone

Those first-generation British battlecruisers would be a good place to start in 1:350. They had much simpler lines than later ones like the Lion or Tiger.

Hi Karl
Yes I agree with you about the relative simplicity of these earliest battlecruisers but they were great looking ships for all that. Speaking of great looking, what about HMS Tiger in 1/350. She was a beauty to look at.
