Great to see not 1, but 2 new RN releases in 1/350! Hopefully they will sell a bucket load of these and inspire the manufacturers to release a few more RN subjects in this scale! Some county class cuisers for example or even the holy grail: a RN aircraft carrier!

Roger, that! Although I would call it one new RN release from two competitors....if they sell well, then hello Rodney and Ark Royal!

Well, it seems the DKM has gotten some good attention so maybe now it is time for the RN to get some.

Hi Karl,

Ok they are sister ships, but not the same ship, re Graf Spee with these two companies. I think most who only buy one will make their choice on the vessel rather than manufacturer, so I would still call it 2 new RN releases particularly as I will be buying both.
