Iron Shipwright makes a resin and brass Atlanta in 1:350 scale. It is on their current website In a recent discussion on another forum the ISW kit drew positive remarks
Gulfstream Models also made a resin & brass Atlanta. It ‘featured’ a four piece hull which made for strange construction issues.
Blue Water Navy was bought by Yankee Modelworks which was in turn bought by Blue Ridge Models. Blue Ridge has no plans to re-release this kit. It is very dated and the time & effort to bring it into the 21st century would make it cost prohibitive.
Yes,the Dragon kit is vapor ware.
