Looking for HMS Repulse model

[darkkwulfe]

I don't know if this is where to ask this but I am attempting to find a 1/700 or 1/350 scale model of the HMS Repulse. I don't know if there is one in 1/350 scale or not but it would be nice. I've tried searching the internet but the few ones I did find were to small scale or very poor quality/looking kits. Any help would be appreciated.

I guess it means Tamiya's and Trumpeter's 1/700 is out. 

Airfix has 1/600

Haven't found any Hobby shops that sell the Tamiya's version. I have a photo etched detail kit for the Repulse in 1/700 scale that I got years ago during a Hobby shop "estate" sale but it was in a zip lock bag.  don't know what company made it.

Trumpetters seems to sell on Amazon from a couple of companies.

Kingkit (UK) has it in store (1/700 Trumpeter):

Im a bit wary of Trumpeter, they were a bit obnoxious to the HMS Hood association when they politely pointed out their large collection of reference material, and Trumpeter sneeringly told them they had no need of it. OTOH, they do seem to make some nice ship models.

I live in the US and really don't want to pay heavy shipping costs.

Ooooh I'll give this a try, I live in New Jersey and the White Horse Pike (as is the Black Horse Pike) is not far. Thanks for the info.

Oh god the detail kits.

I had to close the window fast or else I'd be inclined to restart that hobby that I've safely stored away.
