Just by way of update from previous news reports it now appears that the good folks at White Ensign Models are currently working on the instructions for their 1/350th HMS Roberts and 1/350th HMS Abercrombie kitsets.

We understand that the first to be shipped (which is expected to be around now) will probably be the 1/350th HMS Abercrombie.

White Ensign Models have advised that virtually the entire first production run of the1/350th HMS Abercrombie. has been pre-ordered, but that a few kits are left.

If you want one of these, don't wait

Please note with that with the 1/350th HMS Abercrombie. the crew at White Ensign Models are less certain of the colours she wore than they are for those of Roberts, so they are going to include alternate profiles to allow the modeller to paint her up in either 1942 Admiralty Light Disruptive Type camouflage, as seems to be indicated by available photos, or in 1943 Admiralty Light Disruptive Type camouflage, as stated in certain publications.

Abercrombie docked last week! It is a great kit. It does have some weaknesses, but these may be overcome. It'll allow the AMS victim a great starting point and is WAY enough for the average to take it on as it is. I want to bring to attention that the Profile Morskies for Roberts and Abercrombie, as issued 3-4 year ago, are not reliable at all. Next to very obvious faults (e.g. wood deck for Abercrombie's main deck) there are some faults concerning AA positions, configuration dates, etc. You better find something else. If these faults have not been revised in the meantime, don't buy them. Cheers, Guido
