Well Brandon from Free time Hobbies (Blue Ridge Models) made mention that there are 4 new 350 scale BB's in the works , of course he won't spill the beans. I am hoping the operative word NEW means never been done not another Bismarck/Tirpitz reboot. So just hoping here to see a cage mast US BB and a Nelson/Rodney, They haven't done any Japanese stuff but we are missing a Hiei and a Hyuga ( non-hybrid). Oh and for big carrier fans they are doing an angle deck Essex class in 350.

Yeah there's been a lot of talk about that Warren, but I haven't heard or seen anything solid yet.

Keepin' my fingers crossed for the American Big 5--you can get a LOT of mileage out of those designs.

Basicallly the New Mexico, Tennessee and Colorado class used the same hull. The Colorado class mounteed 8 16"s instead of 12 14's like the others With some resin update/modification sets I could see me buying 3 cage masts and ocnverting one to the 30's modification of the New Mexico class the other to the triple 14's or dual 16's depending on which is made or even fnal config of teh TN or CA
