The latest Atlas model arrived today - a very nice Graf Spee. The hull is all metal and could be 'waterlined' if required and features the armour belt and bulge. I can't say how accurate these are but they look 'right'. Scuttles, anchors and the shield emblems are tampo printed and look fine.
A pale yellow/brown plastic deck lets the overall appearance down a bit, but this could be painted quite easily to improve the look.
It's really a shame that earlier models in the series had a mixed metal / plastic hull that detracts from their appearance and restricts the opportunity to grind off the underwater section.
After checking out the model I contacted their Customer Services dept and was pleased to learn that the following models are planned for release (dates and order of release not known):
Ark Royal, Exeter, Warspite, Lexington, Arizona, Hornet, Ramilles, Scheer, Lutzow, Gneisenau, DoY, Rodney, Vanguard, Musashi, Roma, Massachucetts, Barham and Tirpitz.
