Dang, I was hoping for the 1912 version.

I've always been amazed how underrepresented the RN has been in the world of styrene.

Great to see this but I would also love to see some RN Cruisers in styrene.

Nice, but some Royal and Commonwealth Navy Cruisers would be more welcomed.
Oh and an Italian or even French Cruiser while you're at it, please.

This kit is welcome but how about a 1941 version of the Prinz Eugen? Minor changes on an existing kit and voila they could get another $150 form us. A new Admiral Scheer or Lutzow or County class cruiser would be welcome also.

I'd certainly be up for a Admiral Scheer in her Dazzle scheme.
It's about time that my lonely Graf Spee had a sister to play with!
About Blucher - did Trumpeter do different hulls for their Hipper & Eugen kits? I think they did.
Be interesting to see if they do the Blucher hull correctly.

Hey, guys, it's all well to decry what they DIDN'T release, but what about what they DID? This looks pretty cool to my inexperienced eyes.
