Progress at last!
It seems that BTM are commissioning their own 1/350 Ark Royal kit under their 'Sea Legends' banner. Their website states that only previous customers may place a pre-order though.They have also requested that no further info is available at this time, and to not bombard them with email inquiries until they make further announcements.
See here - It's not cheap, but it's the only one in town so far!

That is expensive, but perhaps demand will prompt other companies to get into Royal Navy carriers!
On this side of the pond, Free Time Hobbies is announcing pre-orders for a 1:350 Atlanta from Dragon and 1:350 New York and Texas from Trumpeter.
It's a good time to be into larger scale ships!

The price has now gone down by over £50, so looking better.

SCAM ALERT !
They do have the Graf Zeppelin in 1/200 by Lindberg on their site for pre-orders as of today.
This kit has been placed on hold YEARS AGO !
Doug Ridge from Lindberg Models just confirmed that again !
Here is what a person that calls himself james summerby wrote:
"...as for the lindberg model we have 10 of there kits which we bought from a source i will not divulge over the internet..."
Besides bad grammar you will find this to be a blunt lie !
Same with the Yamato in 1/144, never released as a KIT and according to the manufacturer not even planned as a KIT !
