Beautiful appearing kit of a four-stacker! Has one been released in 1/350 before?

Michael,
I think you've got the scale wrong.
On the 'Homepage' + 'News' link there's a big red square with 1/350 in it.

Yes but I had missed it and still thought it was worth putting up here.

For anyone planning to build this model: there is a tiny molding blip half way up the main top mast which is a potential weak point. You can see on the pic above that I posted that it snapped at that point
. The second one I'm building, I replaced the topmast with a piece of brass rod - much more secure!
