1/350 Admiral Graf Spee is coming to our shore soon

here's the news
Clicky

Man, dont they make anything else but Jap and German cruiser carrier etc? ZZZZZZZZ

Make la some 1/144 ships like Hunt/Tribal class destroyer or German Z class, or 1/72 British S and T class submarine, Jap I class or German Type IX...thats what turns me onnnnnnn

Shah,
this does bring back some memories of the old Airfix kit......

Yes towkay..those were 1/600 i believe

Imagine those sexy destroyers in 1/144....ORGASMIC :P

hmmm i wonder if someone will do a comparison with Academy's offering

B)
sokong sokong..

the unique shape of the T-class is very interesting...

if only got the energy and creativity to scratch-build one.. :lol:

this is the HMS Thrasher




kuman

LOL dream on la bro

We will get another 100000 of every kind of jap battleship and cruiser, endless german battleship, US carrier bla bla bla......

YAWN!!

Well.... there was once alot of Chinese modern ships model kits floating around in the market.

What else they could make? Virgo Starcruise?

A Salvage Platform Crane would be a good subject for modelling. Imagine the extensive amount of PE parts to make it look realistic.

I think there is absolutely tons of subject matter possible for big scale ( >1/144) ships.....military and civilian subjects like destroyers, subs, torpedo boats, tugs, ferries, fire boats, launches etc.

Whatever out there now is old mouldings. The only recent ones are the 1/35 Eboat and Revell Fletcher. The rest are mostly 70's and 80's moulds. Some Revell even comes from the 60s.

BTW, I actually bought 4 of those chinese navy ships, and built one. They are junk.

Good, up to date and high quality kits are rare in these scales. Its not going to change.

too add to some of us misery, another ship Prinze Eugen which announced in the first reply, is also coming out... Prince Eugen

and another heavy cruiser 1/350 Admiral Hipper

now a few more 1/350 Scharnhorst and Gneisenau class will complete the entire german battleships...huhuhuh

i agreed with most of us.... but like AFVs too, they are so many tiger and panthers out there from the 50s mold to the recent one.... British tanks are not that popular even though everytime there was a poll in any forum asking what plastic kit we expect and i keep on putting those british vehicle , but the manufacturer keep on doing the same vehicle and variants all over again.... the same goes with all other subject....how many F-4 are there in the market?? F-16?? F-14?

ship are quite ok la sikit because we dont see 20-30 diff version of 1/350 bismarck ehh? so far only 3 good one........

my 2 sen duit raya!

Kan dah cakap.....predictable.....yet more german ship on top of the Jap ship.....

LOL Old topic la bro lol......dah kering air liur to rant on this...but nice to lepas geram once in a way...here we gooooo :lol:

Wah, more german cruiser.....im so so surprised....oh wait, got another jap carrier coming oso hiryu soryu kayu........Endless zzzzzzzzzzzzz yawnnn sleeeppp

You're right, ships are different in a way from plane and AFV, cos the versions are few...just maybe some changes over the years...which can be mostly scratchbuilt anyway. Thats why I feel new subjects is what is relevant for ships, not versions.

I dont really care if the Academy version is better than the Tamiya or whatever..so what? How much worse can it be? Do we really need the "perfect" release?

Aiya, you gotta love how the manufacturer play us :D And we all go running like ayam cos new version out must buy bla bla....but its demand supply...they will make what the masses want...and the masses want another F16...habis citer....its like fast food...

Basically the choice for a modeller wanting something different is go for resin etc...but the $$$$$$ makes it ridiculous....

OH LOOK!! Another new version of F16 Fighting Phantom Eagle Hornet!!!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Frankly, I dont feel like buying anything out there rite now....sale or not, bosan.

But all this is irrelevant, the choice is in my hands. Its a free world.

Then again, GIMME THE 1/24 MOSSIE LA AIRFIX!!! FASTERRRR!!! :lol:

Hahaa...that many version of any BB would eat a lot of pocket money and space... DD on the other hand is small and cheap..


Added : I want a 1/350 Shinano...!!!!!

Lucky I just PLAY Modern/Cold War 1/350 Battle Cruiser/Destroyer RUSSIAN like Kirov Class, Udaloy I & II Class, Slava Class and Sovremenny Class.... and Kuznetsov

Would love to see this 1/350 in future.............

Kara class cruiser
Kashin class destroyer
Krivak class frigate
Neustrashimy class frigate
Tartarstan/Gepard class frigate,
Gorshkov class frigates
Steregushchy class corvette
Tarantul class corvette
Parchim class corvette
Grisha class corvette
Nanuchka class corvette

and of course the KIEV Class Carrier in 1/350 :P

Flylice80, Xamel1975 and me (plus a few other friends) actually scratchbuilt one of those, well, not the salvage platform crane but similar. We also scratchbuilt a sand dredger which is bigger than that and has an arm that can submerge underwater with a very big drill head to drill through the seabed.

Oh yeah... all these were in 1/72 scale... :D

Shah, huahahaha.....

Major, lama x nampak?? tiba2 muncul dengan kelas2 kapalnya

Imran, macam aku pernah bagitau, tunjuk ler gambaq kapai korek tuh

No completed photo... In progress ada la.

Sorry for the OT. Now, back to your regular programme ^_^ .

Wah Mejar Hashaney return from outer space...mana pegi? Join Soviet Navy ke Tuan? :lol:

I like your ideas about those corvette and frigate...but I wish them in 1/72....YEAHHHH. And how about Sovremeny in 1/144!!!

BIG IS BETTER!

Sil n landy.... Saya adaaaa d Kangaq lg..... :D

Landy, 1/144 scale Battleship ah? Mak ai, banyk besaq wo!!!

1/200 Sovremenny pun dah "termakan" banyak space... tp class Corvette n Frigate in 1/72 pun dah kira besaq jugak tp kalau ade, ape salahnya kan ;)

Mejar, perfect ship scale bagi aku:

1/144 : destroyer size - Revell now has fletcher class only

1/72: corvette, submarine, fast attack craft size. Airfix started this long ago with
E boat, Vosper etc. Follow by Tamiya and Revell..but nowadays slowed down again :(

I think these are very nice scale for small ships.....average size would be a bout 0.5-1 metre length. Beautiful and impressive to display

Battleship in 1/144 tak logik la hahaha....need a swimming pool!!

few new warship kits,

I hope the manufacturer will turn to produce more British ships.

It's quite ironic, that the once world's strongest naval power is weakly represented in model kits.

gimme more WW1 battleships, especially those fighting at Jutland.

10000000% sokong ...but add also the torpedo boats and destroyers hehehe

A 1/350 scale HMS Warspite, HMS Malaya, the R class battleships, the QE class battleships.....meleleh air liur.....

What about 1/350 scale British aircraft carriers.....Illustrious class, Ark Royal, etc...

1/144 scale Tribal class destroyers....ha howzat!

I can dream right.....

Shah, couldn't agreed more.... :D

me stick to 1/350 modern Naval subject is suffice enough... No WW1 or WW2, must maintain status quo at the moment, otherwise.... :wacko:

These are not from Trumpeter, but they will be releasing soon from Aoshima... New ships...!!!
