Sea Dart & Sea Wolf kits
« on: July 10, 2021, 11:05:43 am »

Takom, noted for their military vehicle kits and also 1/72 kits of Bismarck's and Yamato's turrets amongst others, are bringing out a kit at 1/35 scale of a Sea Dart launcher with missiles and a Sea Wolf launcher with missiles and you get both in the same box. In the USA it will retail about $40 so I would imagine about £40 in rip off Britain.
Go to

Where he has just posted a preview of the kit, or go to Andy's Hobby Headquarters channel on Youtube.
(I have no connection with Andy's channel I just enjoy the builds he posts, I've learnt a lot from him over the years)

I wonder how many 1/35th scale Type 42 destroyers or Type 22 frigates will be built to use these kits ......!

RRP is £59.99


You can get them from China for about £44
Some places in the UK are expecting to sell them for £47 to 50


I actually quite like the look of them and was thinking of getting them to put on my display shelf

They would also provide useful reference models for anyone wanting to building one from scratch, it woud be no bother re-calculating  for different scales. I've used kit models in the past as reference models before scratch building in particular Revell's 1/72 S100 S Boat provided invaluable detail for my 1/24 S100 S Boat.
