Trumpeter 1/350 USS New York BB-34 Supposed to released in WWII and a Lmtd. Ed. WWI ??

I too am curious.

I just called Free Time Hobbies and spoke to Sandy who asked someone at her store she said might know the answer. The person didn't know. Only confirmed that the upcoming release is WWII.

Their page for BB-34 is here: http://www.hobbypreorders.com/1-350-trumpeter-uss-new-york-bb34-battleship/

I'm not sure if it's a good price or not but I thought I'd post the link anyway.

I hope for your sake that Trumpeter ends up making both versions and that we, in the USA, get both as well.

PS: Here's a picture of her in 1916: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/USS_New_York-2.jpg

Hopefully they (or Gallery) will do a 1:350 USS California 12/07/41 version. I'll snap that up in a heartbeat!

Looks like the latest Squadron flyer has it.

I guess the WWI Limited Edition is coming out in August ... '14 or '15 ?? Here's the link I found out about it on  www.bmmmodels.com/.../p1144420_11712556.aspx

Take anything Boystown Military Models says with an extreme grain of salt.

Off to get my grain of salt.

At least this time the photo they "borrowed" and slapped labels on is the one from Wikipedia. Which I guess puts it in the public domain.

It was published on the cover of the NY Trib, under copyright, back in 1915. I have no idea how that works.

The only thing worse than believing anything these guys post, is....sending them a deposit.

Mic53 this site has a bad bad habit of announcing pre-orders and taking deposits for non-existent models. They have used old Airfix kit box art, old resin limited release kits box art and in one case art from a movie poster for "Tora Tora Tora".
