Initial Report – Ocean Voyage 1/200 Kongo


Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 06:45 AM UTC

By SEAN FORD


Ocean Voyage have been very busy in 2008 and perhaps as you may or may not be aware via recent modelshipwright forums they have recently released their 1/200 IJN Kongo . The kitset appears to portray the Kongo in its Leyte Gulf configuration in 1944. This looks to not only be a very exciting release but the finished kitset also looks huge in physical terms.

This kit is available from a number of sources now however a suggested retail price has not been advised.

Not a bad entry for 1:200 scale. Now, if only Trumpy would advance on their 1:200 Arizona! --Karl

Well, that would be a grand effort to tinker on, but I think the neighbors might be a bit put out with the addition I would have to put through their living room to display it. :D Seriously, it is definitely a great time to be a ship modeler as has been pointed out before. Albeit, not a poor one, you know that is gonna make the old wallet squeal big time.

I was fortunate to visit OV's Shenzhen workshop 1-1/2 years ago just after they released their 1/128 Graf Spee & have to say they offer probably the best detailed GRP kits on the market. In addition to Kongo they were developing a 1/128 Scharnhorst kit but I've not heard anything further on this. Loyalhanna carries their line in the States.
