I forgot to mention in my last post that Revell Germany are issuing a Vasa kit and it should be available about the end of this year. It is a brand new kit made with the assistance of the Vasa museum, so it should be very accurate. The scale at 1/150th is slightly smaller than the Airfix 1/144th scale offering. Test shots look good on Revell's website. Serious modellers however, will probably ditch the simplified moulded plastic ratlines in favour of rigging their own. A superb set of plans by Eva Marie Stolt is available from the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. I recently got a set (8 sheets in all). Highly detailed showing hull, standing and running rigging details a modeller could need to build either the Revell or Airfix kits. I paid about 20 pounds sterling for my set approximately 2 years ago. The set comes with a very interesting museum handbook about the ship. At present, I have the Airfix kit unbuilt, but will probably hold back now until I can get a look at the new Revell kit.
