It seems as if there are going to be a number of the ship models re- released too. I have their so called HMS Hood in 1/400 scale. It sucks. I have converted and built a couple of their 1/32 scale PT-109 models. You *CAN NOT* build the PT-109 boat from the 1/32 scale kit because you get the wrong engine room vent with it. And the hull is 3/4 inch too short. I hope their subs are more accurate than these two kits were. I'd be interested in seeing the prices.

I thought they were going to...maybe I was just hoping. That's the only one I'd want. ...just went Googling, couldn't find anything. But the pics I did find of the two are built even more disgustingly over weathered and crusted up than folks are doing the U-boat examples...I guess no one realizes that would be operationally and functionally death-inducing for a sub? And it doesn't even look good, IMO...they all just look like hulks. Nice looking kits, though. I think of all the subjects I've ever attempted to research sub seem to have the least amount of material readily available...

Actually, the Serian carrying sub has the distinction of being the only modern foreign craft combination to actually bomb US soil - one bomb delivered on Panama if I recall, and it was that demonstrated capability that helped drive the fortification of the west coast that did happen....anyway, I just plain like the lines of them better. This is more the one I'd like to build, or one of any or all of the I-Class aircraft carrying boats - I-9, I-15, or I-400: http://www.rc-sub.com/bclass.html http://www.allwoodwings.com/Ships/Submarines/Japan/0-LIST.htm The I-400 Class would make for a real monster of a model in 1/72...not to mention that a really fine upgrade for any of them would be to get Tamiya 1/72 float-plane kits and put those on them in place of the kit ones, etch and all. I'm more interested in aircraft than sui-subs.

How about it? I remember that you did post a lot of pictures in a binary group. Since my ISP not carry binary groups I have to ask. How much did I miss? What is status on the GATO? Do you have a HP where I can get inspired? Ohh, I do have a faint memory of somthing like: "Curiosity killed the cat....." :-) > ...which reminds me - I'm still short an etch set on that one. Wonder how it looks, the GATO that is :-) Signaturemvh Uffe >> They'll be bigger than my GATO, I think...and that's sayin' something... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Wonder how it looks, the GATO that is :-) I'm still stalled on my U-boat. I had posted a picture series on the binary group, and I plan to repost the entire series and...er...SUB-sequent...once I finish it. If you do an archive search on binary posts by "Rufus" you may be able to find those - I've found some of my stuff in the past that way. What I need to do build a website of my own...yet another project... I'm getting the itch to get on with the boat, though. I need to scratch up some support structure for the pressure hull kit before I close the hull - that and fitting all of that itty-bitty etch to the deck are stumping me right now...trying to decide if I want to fit the deck first and then paint it, or vise versa and touch it up afterwards...probably the later. Pros and cons both ways. As for my GATO, I haven't even started it yet. I ordered the complete set of etch for it from Roll Models and came up short on the basic set, so I need to get hold of that one. It's a really impressive kit...much bigger than the U-boats in comparison. There's probably a few more aftermarket goodies I'd like to...turned periscopes and barrels for the guns would be nice. And a set of brass screws...I'd like a set of brass screws for my U-boats as well.

Not to mention the I-400s weren't even ready until 1945 anyway. Not a lot of time for such deterioration to occur. Weathering is really overdone on to many models.

Speaking of model ships, I had heard that Lindberg was reissuing a sub chaser. Told my local dealer to pick me up one, but he says it is not available. I see nothing on their web site about it. Was this a bad rumor? |
