The Trumpeter USS Texas in 1:350 scale was shown at the Squadron booth at the recent IPMS USA Nationals. I questioned Jeff V of Squadron regarding availability. After confirming with the CEO, I was told that the shipment was in the container enroute to the States. As long as there is no job actions by the Longshoremen at Long Beach they should be here mid-to-late August.
One lucky winner of the raffle which Squadron holds at the Nats took the kit home with him
The kit is the New York with some subject-unique changes. Same waffle-like weld beads on the torpedo bulges. Same too-wide top of the bulge where it joins the hull
