I have purchased several of the 3D printed 1/350 models...all of them from Duct Naval Miniatures on Shaeways 3D printing.
They have put together a LOT of 1/350 scale models you simply cannot find anywhere alse...and for those wwho are price consicious about the 1/350 scale, they have twice as many or more done in 1/700 scale that are very reasonably priced.
I will post a few pictures here...and follow that up with posting them on the thread about new models I started, Most of them I have a thread up here on FS for:
The Russian Gorshkov class FFG - a Really good design, they just do not have the money or logistics to built them very fast. They have now out out two in the last ten years:
Here's the German F125 Baden Wuettemberg class Frigate:
Chinee ype 55 Large DDG, really a cruiser and their anser to the US Navy Tico cruiser, but with fewer VLS cells 112 cells versus 128 + 8 for the Tico:
..and finally, the FFG(X) for the US Navy. I will buy another of these to use in my US Navy Carrier Strike Group:
I mght add a Resin kit that most people are unware of, but, like the Resin Kit by Organe Hobby of the 1/350 Harper's Ferry, LSD-49, it is VERY well done and was a real joy to build and was the only 1/350 scale verssion of the model I could find.
That is the Akizuki DDG for the JMSDF. As I say, it is a resin kit, but it had so many extras and so many metal, and other parts that it ame out very, very well. The Japanese built four of them and are now following them up with two more built on the same hull, but armed more specifically for ASW where the first four or more AAW oriented. All six are multi-purpose and the first for use the Japanese FSC-3A battle management system with their own dual APAR radars. They call it the Japanese "AEGIS" and it will allow cooperative engageent with their other six, soon to be eight actual AEGIS destroyers. They just launched the first of their two new advanced Atago class.
Anyhow here that Akizuki model in 1/350 scale:
I put it in with my Japanese carrier grou with their 1/350 Hyuga class:
I would REALLY like to see a 1/350 scale Izumo class (two arriers that diplace about 35,000 tons and can carry up to 24 aircraft. They say they are for helos only, but I am sure that if the Japanese get too concerned about the PLANs buildup, you will see them buy 40+ F-35Bs and put them on these carriers. If I ever find a 1/30 scale Izumo, I would load it up with 18-20 F-35Cs.
Anyhow...this post turned into a much bigger thing than I intended!
