I am finding online references that H&R offers both scales but their website doesn't list what's what. And their catalog is 9 years old.

I refer to these:

1/600 or 1/300?

Thanks

The Coastal Forces in the link are 1/600 scale. They are the old Skytrex line.


The 1/300 scale stuff is included in their WW2 category listings.


For example, this is the link to the 1/300 German stuff link

Both.

The "real" H&R vessels are 1/300th scale, but they bought the Skytrex 1/600th line, so now sell those too.

Thanks. That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. I wish they would show the scales.

I was there the other day and between the lack of pictures, lack of information on scale, lack of shipping information (until you get almost all the way through checkout and then find out it is about +35% to the US) I decided to make my own stuff.

I notice there are now photos of the Coastal Forces. That makes them much more tempting. There used to be none.

The whole H&R site has been agonizingly slow to come up to speed. For the longest time the "catalog" was a PDF you had to download from the front page. I'm guessing the new H&R is somebody's side hobby, not the main income source putting food on the table.

So now I am confused. Their "coastal forces" are there 1/600 skytrex stuff and their "landing craft and ships" are their 1/300 stuff? I don't see much of a price difference.
