If you can cast your minds as far back to this news reporters story of the 2oth of October 2008 you will recall that MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation) are releasing their 1/350th USS WASP (LHD-1) Amphibious Assault Ship.

Please note that MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation) are going to release this kit using the new brand name “Gallery Models”.

We understand that this kitset was designed by Sherman Collings and will come complete with an extensive selection of deck aircraft and fully detailed interior decks

Just a small point of clarification because the brand name being used to release kit has changed since our earlier report.

It was reported earlier that MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation) were going to release this kit under the brand name “Prestige Models” which was of course correct at the time. Now it appears that MRC ( Model Rectifier Corporation) are going to release this kit using another new brand name “Gallery Models”. I hope this helps to diffuse the confusion.

Check out these additional images of this kitset.

We understand that this kitset will be available shortly so watch this space.

We will of course update you with more detail as it comes to hand.

David, it's injected light grey color plastic, 1 part hull, flight deck is 1 part as well wrapped up in foam packing. There are alot of parts lol just started messing with it last night... doing more posting of photos on My FB page though than anywhere else on the net. Waiting on the AM stuff from JAG, WEM and Hawk

I see brass railings too. One piece deck is always a welcome item. I think I'll try to pick one of these up on discount....it far exceeds what little budget I have left

I'm not much of a ship builder, but my first Wasp was almost a box-shaker (where you drop in a bottle of glue and some paint, shake the box and a nice-looking model comes out). It was such a great experience (with no aftermarket stuff outside of a few helicopters) that I plan to get another one as soon as WEM's brass comes out. I did get the JAG deck vehicles set but haven't painted them yet. Seriously, this model went together like no other I ever built.

Lee, would you possible post a photo of the JAG set ?? I'm looking at getting it for Mine, but Alan said that they were out currently this week to check back later.. I saw the built up versions of the telli crane* I think that's what it's called/spelled* would like to see what it looks like before things are put together.

I'll see if I can't take a few pix tonight. They're gorgeous li'l bits of resin, though I'm not sure I'll have the courage to attack the Tilly right away. Imagine, pre-cut window masks in 1/350 scale!!!

Apologies if I am being a bit hard of thinking here, (nothinhg unusual there ) but is this the same kit as has appeared in the UK in a Revell box, the same kit plus some, or something new?? Just asking cos I have managed so far to resist the tempation, but if this is even better, it is going to be even harder, ifit is the same I think I can hold out Si

Yes, it was released in Europe by Revell, and I think it has a third different boxing in Asia - originally Fujimi but now some other company. It looks very much like a Trumpeter model; someday maybe they'll explain why it wasn't released as a Trumpeter model in the first place.

I got the model a few months ago because the detail is fantastic. Planes and other vehicles are 40+ and I started assembling these before the base model because i fear never getting there otherwise. I too have been awaiting any AM parts although the kit come with some. have you or anyone found any because i haven't found a thing. thanks jerry

Hi Jerry Check White Ensign models, I believe the Wasp is quite high up their priority list Si
