We at Admiralty Modelworks have exciting news regarding our upcoming products!!:
First:

The HMS Glorious is officially announced as available immediately. Admiralty Modelworks is now shipping the HMS Glorious to our customers who pre-ordered the kit.


Second:

By the U.S. IPMS National Convention in Virginia Beach the following will be available:

BRASS BARRELS:

1) 5” .38 USN WW2 brass barrels with drilled out muzzles.

2) French Barrels for 1/700 Trumpeter/Hi Mold Richelieu/Jean Bart:

3) 127mm (5”) barrels for Japanese WW2 ships.

4) 15” Royal Navy main gun barrel.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Admiralty Modelworks now has the ability to do CNC brass barrels!! However, in order to make the production of a specific barrel viable, there must be sufficient interest in the respective barrel to bring the barrel project to fruition. Please e-mail Pavel @[email protected] with the brass barrel you desire. If the barrel is able to be produced (i.e. sufficient specifications are available), the top wishes should become a reality. Please note, this is a preliminary request. Again, unfortunately, not all wishes will be able to be produced.


Third:

1) (700/505 HMS Repulse 1941 Update Set) An ultimate set to accurize the 1/700 Tamiya HMS Repulse kit.

-Detailed Resin Funnels, with steam pipe detail

Fourth:

**A few have inquired regarding the Jean Bart hull bulge. Because this is a very small niche product, we need no fewer the 20 people to pre-order the Jean Bart bulge. Please e-mail Pavel at [email protected] if interested.

Fifth:

We are working on many, many Royal Navy subjects never before produced. With the way research is unfolding, many long sought after Royal Navy subjects should become available in kit form!!!! Stay tuned!!!!

Guys, as many of you know I'm a member of Admiralty Model Works. I lay out the instructions. Well, today I have started receiving the materials for our latest project. I will say this without any qualifications: this will be the greatest 1/700 ship model yet seen. The parts count embarrasses many 1/350 and even 1/200 kits and the level of quality is astronomical. This doesn't reset the bar, it smashes it. I thought the Glorious/ Courageous were mind bending, but this even trumps those...

Waiting with bated breath Mr. Bell.... I'm sure this will be yet another Pavel masterpiece!

So you are the guy responsible for the instructions, eh? All I can say is - keep doing what you are doing!! The directions may be the finest I've ever seen for a resin kit! They even rival those of an injection molded kit!

Thanks for the kind words, Martin! If my instructions can complement the amazing work that Pavel and Darius produce, I'm very happy.
