I was hoping for an early spring release to get one built for the 75th in May, but better late than never. Perhaps a successful release will prompt a KGV in 1/200?

At any rate, I am already working on my 1/200 Norfolk, Suffolk, and Dorsetshire from Styrene Armada.

Saw some of the test shots at Telford, she does look good.

I am definitely up for one.

Cheers.

$479.95USD RRP!?!?! Not to mention, where to put the monster!? I wonder just how many Trumpeter sell? Given that that's pretty much my entire model budget for the year, I'll save my pennies for smaller scales... my dream of a WW2 Ilustrious class in 1/350 lives on!
