Mark Aldrich Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Currently looking for a Great Eastern for a friend. The Entex kit is listed as 1/400 while the Revell/Revell Of Germany offerings are both listed as 1/388. I am almost positive these are all the same remolded kit. The question is....Did Revell re-measure items or did they just put a different scale on it to confuse us treasure hunters?
shiplover Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 revell used to use rough scales or box scaling on old kits but RoG has just remeasured thes old kits and it is now listed as correct 1
Mark Deliduka Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Cool. I have a Great Western built but not rigged. I'd love to get a great Eastern to build next to it. I do hope your friend makes pics available so I can see his ship when it's done.
Mark Aldrich Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Posted September 3, 2015 Duke, I think he is only using the hull and paddle wheels. I think he is scratchbuilding it into something else. Mark
Mark Deliduka Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 Cool. I'd still like to see what he does if pics are available. Thanks.
