Dave: Thank you, that is the 1/350 Warspite which is covered in a newer news article. This article covers the 1/700 Warspite, and is the original fit as opposed to the refit that we see the 1/350 scale version in

Wojtek: I agree, the turret looks incredible! We haven't heard anything from Trumpeter, and I don't see anything offhand on their website. It certainly looks legit... We'll contact them and see what they have to say about it.
