Oh yippee, FOUR new Bismarcks! (Said in a sarcastic voice) The Bismarck and Tirpitz have been done in every major scale by the major model manufacturers. Yet we've got one decades old off scale offering of the HMS Warspite, and only a couple small scale models of the Hood. Question, how many Bismarck/Tirpitz models do they have to sell to make enough money to take a chance on something new? It's not just the British ships either that have been ignored. How about some other US battleships, or even Italian, French, Japanese?

I agree Rodger! Be nice for a change to see somthing different. Like US Cruisers in any scale or the ships that you mentioned. A Bismarck and Tirpitz would be welcome in 1/700 scale, since the aoshima has been the only company that has had them in this scale. And they are not the best kits! I have built them, and with work can be built into a nice model. But other than this, we need many more kits that never have been represented in a model. And the list is long!
