I don't understand why no company has come out with a new tool 1/350 of a German Raider like Atlantis,Pinguin,Kormoran,Orion and so on.I understand that is Aurura kit is an off scale and very toy like,not really for building but just collecting.

Revell of Germany would be a logical choice,but I would love to see Tamiya,Dragon,Hasegawa,or Trumpeter do it.But it seems as much as pipe dream as finding the collector kit.

The Revell of Germany offering is a real gem.  We should push for a re-issue of that.  There is a very nice PE package for it also- forget the vendor.

I'm thoroughly confused (my normal state). Don, what Revell Germany kit are you talking about? I sure don't remember the company issuing such a subject. Have I missed something?

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

The Academy Graf Spee in 1/350 doesn't count? That was a commerce raider, wasn't it?

I mean camouflaged raider,like the ships I mentioned.
Otherwise,you can say ,Bismarck,Scharnhorst,Gniesenau,were all commerce raiders.So no,I was talking about the disguised raidera
