Is anyone old enough to remember a Frog kit of
the early '60's, probably 1/350 of an RN destroyer, possibly Tribal
class? I can remember that it was a reasonble kit and I would
like to find it again. Anyone know if it might be available under
a different company name? I have never been able to find any
trace of it but I know it existed. This is a long shot but I
thought I would try.
Thanks. |

Well, I'm probably not old enough to remember in person, but I'm pretty
sure you mean the Battle-class destroyer that was offered at least in
two different boxings; that kit was in 1/304 or something. All the
other destroyer kits Frog offered were in 1/500 (Tribal, H/I-class,
R/S/T/U Type 15 conversion). For some reason, when Novo took over the
moulds, they seem to have confined themselves to the 1/500 kits, which
is why these still appear fairly often.
The Battle-class on the other hand unfortunately seems to be quite rare these days - I haven't seen one in some years.
