darkkwulfe Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futon Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I guess it means Tamiya's and Trumpeter's 1/700 is out. Airfix has 1/600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkkwulfe Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 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.

Stuart Galbraith Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Trumpetters seems to sell on Amazon from a couple of companies. https://www.amazon.co.uk/X-Toy-Battlecruiser-Plastic-Repulse-1-8Inch/dp/B091HPDTBM/ref=sr_1_36?crid=1H1SKG96VQ7ZK&keywords=hms+repulse&qid=1648636418&sprefix=hms+repuls%2Caps%2C340&sr=8-36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkkwulfe Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmgill Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Didja check Ebay? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=HMS+repulse&_sacat=0 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. *runs away from the thread* Edited April 10, 2022 by rmgill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
