Thanks!

Exciting news! Hope they shrink the New York and her sister down to 1/700 scale, too.

Well this one might find its way into my stash.

freetimes hobbies has a preorder price of $79.98 for the New york

The box art of the New York looks like it could be around 1944.

I just went to the Free Time site and it's not listed yet. Do you know if that price is certain?

Thanks for the update, Greg!

I saw at their main site they has a 'coming soon' listing for a Trumpeter 1/350 USS Texas. But the Trumpeter site does not list it yet.

I think I'll wait a bit and see if anything comes from Trumpeter about the Texas.

Dunno, no radar, and no camo paint, could be pre-war era from the box art.

I'm waiting (under-patiently) to release info on Texas.

Erm, I think you might want to look again. There is both radar and dazzle camouflage (Ms 31a 8B) on the box art.
