I'm not sure if this link is going to go through but I just noticed Lucky Models has a 1/350 IJN Mikasa for $58.99 USD. Looks like an interesting kit for the Dreadnought campaign, even though Mikasa wasn't a Dreadnought.

Well, she was a battleship, and she's got gunturrets, so that part of the campaing rules is covered...

Actually I don't understand when a battleship is to be called a "dreadnought" and when only just " a battleship"...

She looks interesting, but a bit dull for my opinion. The kit could use some pe, or atleast some heavy weathering.( and I don't like the light plastic coloured bridge pieces either....

But I never heard of Hasegawa 1/350 battleships before, so thanks for the link.

Technically a "Dreadnought" is an all big gun battleship. Then Mikasa had a mixed battery, some big guns, some medium sized. Plus she was built before the Dreadnought, so she can't be called a Dreadnought. Actually the Americans started the first all big gun ships, the South Carolina class. Thankfully Dreadnought was finished first. Good think, can you imagine a "South Carolina" campaign, or Super South Carolinas?

AHHH Roger....what a character. That was funny. Seriously though the dreadnaught campaign also implies the large "ships of the line' from the age of sail, so if you are inclined to do the Victory or that French Sol Royal ( I know it means Sun KIn in English), they are included. Frigates are not though, so there goes the Constitution and the CSS Virgina and Alabama

Baster,

I guess that as well means the Wasa and the Royal Sovereign?..

Harm

If it was one of those mosters called a ship of the line it applies. You gonna tackle one of those. I wish I had the patience to do another. Years ago I did the Constitution. ....Never Again.

Ok, I'm going to play Devil's advocate here. Yes, the Virginia was based on a frigate, the sunken Merrimac, but she wasn't considered a frigate by the south. As an iron clad she didn't really have any other designation. She was the strongest ship in the CSN, could go up against any ship of the line in existence, and could be considered a "battleship." Shouldn't she count, if anybody wants to do her?
