I have one unbuilt DDG kit, to which I planned to add a few accessories, but which still would have only gotten me the ship as built, not in anything like the latest form. With this upgrade set, that could well change!

This set released recently along with different davits and RHIBs. I still need to find a way to back-fit the details to my DDGs without damaging the ships. Previous Message
Quote: "Now EV Model released supplement kits for Arleigh Burke Class."
Now you tell me, lol. I went looking for this late last year after they released their set for the Ticonderoga class cruisers. It was not out then. I took "alternate measures" to make myself happy. Then, I read this from you, and just went looking.
EV Set P100 Burke upgrade set. Thank you!
Sigh... More shopping... Previous Message
Yes, this could be a problem, but even Arleigh Burke Class has different config. I built 5 with these features. Now EV Model released supplement kits for Arleigh Burke Class. I can add them to my ships. We just need to go along with the changes with FFG(X). Previous Message
Charles formerly CNC models built a 1/96 model in 2022, I did one in 2023. Both are wrong because of changes the Navy made to the ships. Charles based his on the SEA/Land/Air /builders' model exhibit 2021, I based mine on the 2022 version.
Checking on the progress of the ship, they still haven't finalized the design. Previous Message
Hope mine arrives soon and smoothly. I noticed 3D-Wild has 1/350 CMV-22V, MQ-25 and CVN-79 Island. Maybe they can rescale them to 1/700. Previous Message
Well, in addition to everything I wrote about before, the USPS sent my package to the wrong town, several miles to the Northwest of mine. Added an additional two-day delay. Ordered June 25th. Received July 30th. Five weeks exactly. Originally predicted due by 3DP Train by July 21st. Originally expected delivery was July 23rd by USPS. After that date passed, no more predictions were given until the day before it should have come. That was July 28th. Then, it rode off to the wrong town. Came today. Worth the wait, though. Better luck with yours! Hopefully that trainee has sped up, and their production is back on schedule, and then hoping your postal service delivers it without delay. Previous Message
I also emailed them to let them know I would order one than one set of each ship if it is 1/700 full hull and am glad to support US model producer. My orders of Snafu and Classic Airship will arrive in Aug. Previous Message
Good! Glad you found this, and got your order in. I hope they are as quality as they look, and I also hope he has many more offerings to come.
In other news, my SNAFU plane order (finally) came today. All four items were included. I like them a lot. Planning to do a separate post on them, but not tonight. Previous Message
Thank you so much, Ralph for letting me know this new release. It looks good so I placed my order for full hull version with option to order for more. Hope they will have more 1/700 full hull kits. Previous Message
Sander indicated (well) below that he hoped to have it ready in July, so I checked in periodically. Just looked today, a few hours ago. It's up on the site! I have placed my (waterline) order, but a full hull option is available, as he'd hoped to be able to do.
Here's the item on the site:

Be sure to check the 1/700 full hull box. (It is not the default...)
Enjoy! I looked forward to mine!
