It seems that Trumpeter have been as busy as ever with new subjects.

For 2013 there's a 1/350 HMS Belfast 1942, a couple more 1/350 Tribals (HMS Huron & HMS Zulu) to go with their HMS Eskimo kit, and another couple of Type 23 RN frigates in the shape of HMS Westminster & HMS Monmouth to add to Kent & Montrose.

Another LCS-3 in the shape of USS Fort Worth.

Along with these, there's a couple of WW1 HMS Dreadnought in 1915 and 1918 fits, to compliment their existing 1907 kit.

Enjoy!

Wow! Drool! There goes all my pocket money!

I wouldnt mind if they upscale their Q.E ww1 fit kit, and downscale their Warspite/Q.E ww2 fits either!!

At last a British Cruiser in Plastic, and some Destroyers, I hope they vae corrected the Hull issues on the 1/700th Tribal, but well done Trumpeter, another good year for RN guys.

There's a 1/700 USS Maryland in Pearl Harbour fit slated for a March release, too. Her sisters will undoubtedly follow in various configurations. Hope they're upscaled as well, don't want to imagine lacing up a cage mast in 1/700 with my eyesight.

Not that I usually build ships, but I have thought about building HMS Belfast for years, so why not take the chance to build it in 1/350...

Nice work Trumpeter. Welcome additions.

I hope for an upscale of the Maryland as well A cage mast BB is #1 on my hit parade. Wish they would get around to the Baltimore as well.

I built the Airfix Belfast many many decades ago (about 3.5) but at that stage I was not painting my ships (lack of skill, money, patience take your pick) so to be able to finally build it in 1/350 makes me very happy. Now we wait for the Hyperscale people of this world to pick it too pieces rather rejoice at being able to have it in their collection.

The Belfast will definitely be on my shopping list.

Dave, you missed the 1/350 USS Indianapolis due in March..

Hi Warren - Indy is already covered - Here. You will also see that Academy has their own 1/350 Indy in the works too.

I can hear my wallet screaming in pain now... I already have the kits lined up to do the Missouri, New Jersey and Washington in 1/350... do I need a 1/200 one??

BTW the link doesn't work ....

It's odd that Trumpeter would release a 1/350 RN type 45 since Airfix already have quite a good one on the market that rumour suggests was tooled by Trumpeter. I wonder how Airfix feel about that?

Oh great, that's just what I need. A 1/200 Mighty Mo ........
The hamster of doom c***s all over my wallet again

Not cheers,
