Three more WWII ships are in the works for 2013 from the ever improving Polish model company!
Mirage has announced three upcoming releases in their 2013 catalog, a pair of torpedo boats in 1/350 and a limited edition in 1/400.
I don't know much about the torpedo boats except that they are both the newer German A-class torpedo boats used in World War I, with A80 becoming the first ship of Poland's restructured navy (ORP) after the war.
The ORP BŁYSKAWICA is a very well documented Grom-class destroyer, and can still be seen in Gdynia where she resides and is cared after as a floating museum. The Grom-class destroyers served alongside the British Royal Navy just before and during WWII, making them and their crews some of the first Polish refugees into Britain.
You can find out more about the museum here.
