Are these plastic kits, or PE updates for pre-existing plastic or resin kits? If plastic, quite an ambitious line-up for one year. What happened to the two British destroyers advertised on the side of the Hermes box?

Where did you find this info? Flyhawk website doesn't mention any of them. http://www.flyhawkmodel.com/html/Flyhawkmodel/news/

I did speak with my contact at Flyhawk today confirming the list. This is a list of projected new kits on the horizon. The actual state of development was not mentioned but I was told they would be released in 2017.

What with these from Flyhawk, and Flyhawk producing for Kajika, it's going to be a very good (and busy) year! (And expensive!)
