Well that's as clean and crisp  a set of mouldings you would hope for!

I have to laugh at some who are complaining about the MSRP claiming "that's one expensive plastic kit!"  By my calculations, if I want to get my TJ S-100 kit up to the level of Italeri's release, I'll end up spending more in parts & accessories than what it would cost to buy one of these  new kits at the current pre-sell offer.  All I have to do now is wonder what to do with that extra hull...  ;)

Sounds like the new Lindberg kits announced over a year ago or the Trumpeter 1/200 Arizona that we are also waiting for.   I understand that shipments are due to hit sometime in December but don't quote me on it.   ok2

Does anyone know if Italeri will sell separate kit sprue sets to their kits like Tamiya does?  I'd like to build a late S-712 version with stern tubes as well as use their parts to upgrade a TJ S-100 I have without having to scrape a hull if I can get away from doing it.

I doubt it they don't do that at present so I doubt the would do it for this.
I see they are to release crew members for the S-100

I received an email today confirming the new S-100 will be available in early December & that parts "might be" available down the road.   :-))

Here in China, Italeri's distributor Model OnLine is offering it on their webstore for the same entry price at US$166.67. 

Considering I won't have to give my left arm to DHL or FedEx to ship this beast in from the States, I'd say that's a pretty good deal!   :D

i had a good look at this at scale model world in telford yesterday and its a beaut the etched brass fret is nicely detailed,there is a lot of room inside for R/C gear but the deck layout may need some cutting as there are no easily modified deck housings to give access

Nice but pricey! I'll wait for six months and a get a resonabley priced one on fleabay.

Is it a one piece hull Leaky?

( Surprised there's still nothing on Italeri's webshite. )

Hi Martin,

From other postings on various web sites the hull appears to be in 3x parts, two sides and a separate stern piece.

the hull is glued and screwed together with plastic tie rods at deck level....i think?

Regards,

Ian

As ian said a seperate transom and sides so its not a one piece as such and from looking again at the photos its a bit of a narrow gap that the mouldings give in the centre of the deck with no openings in the rudder area hence my comment about some surgery needed.All said the moulding quality and detail therein is absolutely spot on im sure it will be on ponds soon the fellows on the stand say its due to hit the shops around mid november so about now really.Mr Models (my local model shop-bearwood west midlands) says he hasnt had a delivery date though {:-{
