Two famous WWII Commonwealth ships swap scales!
Small scale Royal Navy fans will now be able to add the HMS Warspite in her final fitting to their 1/700 fleets!
Likewise, large scale Canadian Royal Navy fans will have the opportunity to add the HMCS Huron in her 1944 fit to their 1/350 fleets!
(No word on whether or not these are simply going to downscaled and upscaled versions of Trumpeter's initial kits, or if they will be altered or completely new.)


1/700 HMS Warspite 1942
05795


Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth class battleship in 1942 fit, veteran of both World Wars and recipient of the most battle honors ever awarded to a single British warship.



1/350 HMCS Huron Destroyer 1944
05333


Royal Canadian Navy Tribal class destroyer (G24), laid down by Vickers-Armstrongs on Tyne on 15 July 1941, kit represents 1944 fit.

I wonder if Trumpy have put the correct Pompom in the Huron, Lets hope have downscaled 1942 WArspite, they upscale a WW1 QE class. Si

I believe this Huron will definately have to hit my dry dock for some assembly. Great to see some Canadian ships hitting the market in plastic.
