I wish they would come out with the 1921 version like Tom's had a few years ago. I missed out on that one and would love to find another for my BB39 collection.

Me thinks these be re-releases. If they sell well enough to raise cash for all-new ship subjects, all the better. --Karl

hello all, i have a 1/350 Pola from Mini Hobby Models.she is a static model and looks like she has good details.it could be that Hobby Boss has the molds for this kit.i do not know. cheers, Bruce

Weren't Trumpeter producing 1:350 kit of Pola couple of years ago? Atleast my LHS had it on list and he told me its OOB now. I have feeling that HB is just rewarming that Trump kit. Anyways, Regia Marina subjects in 1:350 are always welcome!

I am willing to bet that both 350th scale models will be re-pops of the previous Mini Hobbies (i.e. Trumpeter's old alter ego) products. Today the new alter ego of Trumnpeter is Hobby Boss. Usually they use Trumpeter devlopments to release down scaled versions of a popular Trumpeter items. Only once in a while they are allowed their own product (e.g. Land-Wasserschlepper). Considering what 350th ship injection moulds cost, it is hard to pathom they will be using any new moulding. To imagin that will release TWO brand new ships in 350 is even more unlikely. This is just another try to beat a couple of more miles out of a semi-dead horse. However it may be good sign for those who are waiting for the 200th Arizona. Just my 2 cents Guido

Well, I seen the Arizona in the LHS today and bought it. I'm a bit disappointed in a few things with it, I was suprised at how cheap it was, $12. Maybe I'll do a review if there is interest. I think I may try and sell it to someone else though.

Yes, it is cheap, which is really good news. I'd be interested in a review, I'd like to get both kits but am not sure about the quality. At this price, however, I might get them anyway.

if you are wanting both these kits in 350 , they are the only game in town. I remember how excited we were with the 350 scale Banner minni hobbies Trumpeter Arfizona kit way back when. It was pretty much a pantograph of the old venerable Revell kit. I was able to get a PE set for it which made a BIG difference in appearance. So I would say get it or them as that's it and invest in a really good PE set to bring them up to snuff.

Just to clarify the kit of the Arizona I just purchased is the 1/700 scale one.
