Re: New Section for Ship Models?
The model you saw is USS Phelps, a Porter class destroyer in her 1944-45 configuration with AA upgrade. It was a test project to see if there was interest in pre-made 1/700 ships. My understanding is that sales were disappointing and a follow on project has been on hold ever since. Not sure if it will ever come out. Since this came out like 2 years ago I would guess anything new would be about 25-30% more expensive due to the dollar's fall.
The model though is great. I have one and I don't collect 1/700 anything. It is just a great model. Some photos:
Skytrex in the UK also makes finished 1/700 models. All UK warships at the moment. They are not as detailed as what Neptun does.
