Encore E Models, known up to now for their aircraft kits, has announced their first ship related kit release, the 1/232 USS Olympia.

Encore Models has carved their niche by taking tried and true older kits and improving on them with a host of photo etch and resin replacement parts. After much success with aircraft kits, now they are working their magic on ship modeling subjects. Encore will release two versions of their USS Olympia kit, a standard version, which includes resin screws and torpedo tubes and photo etch railings, bilge keel, crest, stairs, ramps, cable reels, skylight frames and watertight doors. The premium edition adds turned metal barrels and display stands and a wood deck to the kit. No release date has been set but, the retail cost will be in the $80.00 USD range for the standard kit and 135.00 for the premium edition.
