NEWS just in from Trumpeter Models, a few more details of the much awaited 1/700 USS San Francisco, and a new brass photo-etch set planned for an April '08 release.

USS San Francisco CA-38 Heavy Cruiser, 1942
Kit #5746
Scale-1/700
SRP $32.95 USD

Scaled down from the previously-announced 1/350 scale Trumpeter kit (due in February, 2008), the San Francisco had been one of the most requested kits by modelers.

The advance sales of the larger 1/350 kit have been great and this 1/700 variant should be no different!

Kit consists of 322 parts on 10 sprues, plus upper hull, lower hull and optional waterline plate, along with 2, 1/700 scale Sea Gull seaplanes.

Markings are for Measure 21, 1942.. Completed kit measures just over 10" long.

SRP $49.95 USD
(For TSM kits #4516 & #4517)

This detailing set consists of 3 sheets of brass photo etch parts to upgrade the Udaloy destroyers.
