Gunny, Gunny, Gunny, how you torture us so. I saw the title, a 1/350 CRUISER!!! Wow. Which could she be? It's Trumpeter so maybe a Baltimore? Maybe one of the big Japanese 10 gun jobs? A British County class would to much to hope fo. Heck I'd even settle for a Prince Eugen. So which one is she? I couldn't wait to go to the link. A Russian? A modern Russian at that? Hey, I'm not complaining, it's a cruiser. Maybe they'll sell a gazillion of them and it will convince them to make some real cruisers, you know something that has an 8" gun?

I'm sorry guys, News-man at heart that I am, just can't resist a good headline! I knew that it would get a few modelers' attentions!!

I agree and can relate completely to your feelings, mates, and I too hope that we will see more cruisers (Allied, Axis, whichever!) available in the future. . .time will tell, eh?

I had the exact same reaction as Rodger. called up the link and then slowly scrolled down eager with expectation...was it the Takao, the Eugene or Baltimore. Rats.....fooled again. Well, I'm sure at least one of those will be released this year. Think of how much fun you will have announcing that one Mark.
