                        Freetime Hobbies is taking pre-orders for:

                        Trumpeter - 1/700 HMS Dreadnought; 1/350 USS (drumroll please) Texas and New York

                        Blue Ridge Models - in styrene - 1/700 USS Texas, New York, and United States (the island-less "super carrier" proposed in the very early fifties - and cancelled).

                        No prices or release dates; I intend to keep my eye on the Freetime website.

                        I can hear the Texas fans salivating.  My personal favorite of the batch is the Dreadnought.

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

                        USS Texas!! I am definitely going to have to get that one! My favorite warship, bar none! Crawled all over her as a kid, last saw her not long after she was restored.

                        I left out three other new 1/700 plastic ones from Blue Ridge:  the USS California and West Virginia (1941 configuration) and the USS Colorado (1944 configuration).

                        All these are announced on the Freetime Hobbies website.

                        I will be on board for the USS Texas, most probably the 1/350 after comparing Trump vs Blue Ridge prices on other kits.  I couldn't make it down for her Centennial Celebration in March but I do make a trip to the Texas and San Jacinto Monument with each visit with family in Houston.
