And it's Zvezda that has stepped up to the challenge, not the oft rumoured airfix or even trumpeter! I have been waiting for a plastic Dreadnought battleship in her pre-1918 configuration since my childhood!

I can't find any further details yet other than a short section in Zvezda's 2011 catalogue. Certainly, it is not listed in the IPMS Deutschland listings (usually very reliable), and it's not even on their website (I don't think- I can't read Russian) They better not be messing with us!
Maybe we could keep this thread in mind if anyone stumbles on any more info?
