May not be Flyhawk, but looks pretty good!  Are these the same class as Derfflinger and Lutzow - or just look similar?  Would have preferred something a little different but I'll get one; and wait and wait for a PE set!

The Konigs were a class of four battleships, slower and  much shorter but more heavily armored. The turrets were very similar in appearance, same gun size, so they did have a similar look to the their contemporaries of the Derfflinger class.

Oh, and of course they had an extra turret vs. the Derfflingers. ICM put out all four Konigs in 1/350, so here's hoping they'll do the same with these ones.

I hope it is better kit then their 1/350 scale kit.  Their 1/350 kit the hull, deck and superstructure had a lot of flash and the parts where poor fitting and required a lot and I mean a lot of putty to correct.  Made me swear off from buying another.

You got ythat right.  I have been severly dis=appointed with any ICM kit i have ever built.  Poor fit. confusing ( at best) directions and lots of flash and clean up to do.
