The Polish model distributing company IBG Models started offering military truck and armor kits under its own name in 2008 and now is beginning to produce ship kits. Coming this late Fall/early Winter are two kits of Hunt II Class Destroyers - ORP Ślązak and ORP Kujawiak .

The Hunt class was a class of escort destroyer developed for the British Royal Navy. The first vessels were ordered early in 1939, and the class saw extensive service in the Second World War, particularly on the British east coast and Mediterranean convoys. They were named after British fox hunts. 31 ships of the 'Type II' of the class were completed and several went into the Free Polish Navy. Slazak was laid down as the HMS Bedale before being commissioned by the Polish Navy in the spring of 1942. She took part in the Dieppe Raid that same year and participated in the Normandy Landings. Kujawiak was laid down as the HMS Oakley. and commissioned into the Polish Navy in the late Spring of 1941. She participated in Operation Harpoon to escort supply convoys to the besieged island of Malta. in the Mediterranean. She was sunk with 13 hands in that operation after striking a mine.

These two kits will be made of injected pastic with PE details. Plans for their release are for November/December this year. No final price has been announced yet but is believed to be around 15 € ($17.00 USD) and will be offered at the IBG Models webstore. When we receive price information we'll update our information here.
