Last December we announced a new kit of the HMS Naiad was coming. It's now available and we have images of that coming kit and it looks like it's a real jewel.

Thanks!

I must get one of these!

Flyhawk is the new kid on the block (for plastic models), and they're the boss! I have all their releases to date (except for Naiad of course) and an very impressed with them.

I'm trying to find a uk seller at the moment. I've been stung too many times by HM customs and Royal Mail when I've had kits from the far east. It's about time we started to see some RN cruisers and this ones very welcome and hopefully the start of more to come.

Thanks, but already tried Hannants. First port of call actually. Although they have the manufacturer listed they have no items in stock. It might mean they are incoming though. I'll keep my eyes on them.

Hi, new here, but just wanted to let you know that Tony at Dorking Models stocks Flyhawk. As of yesterday he had Lutzow, Derfflinger, Naiad, Ward and a Type VII. Bought Naiad and Lutzow and the quality has to be seen to be believed, particularly Naiad.

Welcome aboard Giles!! Sure will come to like it around here!! Great bunch of modelers and a friendly crew! Thanks for the heads up about Dorking Models and their stocking list! Flyhawk has some extraordinary kits available...they have certainly jumped to the foreground of the 1/700 market in my mind!

OK. So I'm a show-off! My Naiad:



Out of the box build, except for the smoke!

Great job Biggs!! Love the base....well done all around!! I am doing my best not to dig into one....LOL!!

Drop the Arizona and dig in! A lot easier build - everything is a perfect fit, and it's much more rewarding.

LOL...not helping at all Biggs! Time to flip a coin.....okay....best two out of three....four out of five...

Something interesting about the sprue distribution. All the detail parts; searchlights and signal lights, Carley floats, winches, etc. etc., are molded on individual non-Naiad -specific sprues with some left over parts. Like these are generic parts for various RN ships. Maybe this might suggest further RN ships will/might be forthcoming?

I agree completely there Biggs! Those small, individualized sprues seem to denote just that...I would have to figure the "GB" might suggest that as well!! Can't wait!!
