Now that I'm back in the States, I'm allowed to use Yank euphemisms. So--I can say that this one came sailing in from left field:

Here's your first look at White Ensign Models new 1/350 HMS Eskimo (kit K3568), which will include parts for the RAN ships as well as the RN Tribals (we'll leave the RCN ships to Darren).

Peter Hall has finished the pattern, and will have the PE design done by the end of this weekend. Given the impending holiday closures by UK firms which will include our casters, my best guess at this time is that we could be shipping these kits by March. Like our other 1/350 kits, this will be split-hull allowing either waterline or full-hull builds from the same kit.

Feel free to pre-order now to be sure to get in on the initial production run. As always, no charge made until we ship your order.
