Just wanted to say "Thank You". I have been doing box art for Trumpeter Models for about 5 years now and I think that is the first time I have seen the word "stunning" associated with any of the box art I have done. I appreciate it. Mike Donegan Naval, Coast Guard & Aviation Artist

Although released by Trumpeter, the design work is by Pit-Road, so the quality will be top notch as wth their JMSDF Kongo (Japanese equivalent of Burke class). I've got the Trumpeter JMSDF Kongo and really like it- I'll definitely pick this bad boy up...

Hi Mike, Welcome to Modelshipwrights mate! Nice to see you in our waters, my friend, and personally, I've admired your work for years (as I'm sure many others have too!)... Cheers, ~Mark

Thanks Mark, I am a self-taught artist so it has been a very long learning curve. Mike

Design by Pit-Road? All the ship design work is by ourself, after my friend leave Trumpeter, I finish the Burke Class design work. thanks Donegan for the box art

I'm very much looking forward to this release. I am particularly glad Trumpeter provided a waterline option. It seems that several of their newer release are not including this option (Kirov, Udaloy II). iamsu7, is a waterline option something Trumpeter will continue to provide? Thanks, Joe

This kit can option waterline

I just now saw this... Hmmm...

I've admired Mike's art for a long time. I know he is sworn to secrecy about upcoming kits from Trumpeter but maybe once in a while he can give us a little taste about upcoming projects, like maybe some new European BB projects? It is also great theat Gaoyue is on the net. He might be able to give the company a bit of input from us, like how bad I want a 350 scale Littorio class. A kit that is not even available in resin, nor is done in 700 scale.
