TGarthConnelly Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Hello, I have a question about a budding theory in my head. The AIRFIX S-10 Class Schnellboot kit ... Could that, by a modeler with a lot of skill, be used as the basis for a model of one of the Regia Marina's MS boats? Just wondering. Garth
David M. Knights Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Garth, I think someone is scheduled to release some of the Italian MAS boats in 72nd soon. Don't remember who.
TGarthConnelly Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Posted June 25, 2012 David, Hi. That was the rumor, yes. Italeri was rumored to be about ready to release a 1:72 kit of the MS (not MAS) boats a few years ago, but nothing came of that. Even if it was true, I could not afford it. I've got an AIRFIX kit in my stash, and I don't want a Schnellboot inasmuch I've got a Revell S-100 built up ....
mquan Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 How about the 72nd Chorszy Modelbud resin kit?
TGarthConnelly Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 How much is that kit? And, how big is it? In inches? Garth
mquan Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 How much is that kit? And, how big is it? In inches? Garth The resin kit is $110 available from Joe's Models.http://www.joesmodels.com/choroszy_ships_72.htmThe paper entry form below the model in the picture is exactly 4 inches width (left to right).HTH
TGarthConnelly Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Posted June 29, 2012 $110? Ouch. Even if I had a job - that'd give me pause.
David M. Knights Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Wow, I had not see that one built up before. I'll have to look out for it.
philp Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Hmm, the comments on the entry form don't build much confidence in the kit. I wish Italeri would release all their boat kits in 72nd. Been wanting to make a PT Barge buster for years but not up to the extra cost of add on parts needed even though they are getting to the point of having it all available. Would also like to see a good Fairmile D MGB.
TGarthConnelly Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Posted July 5, 2012 Roger Pearson of New Zealand will be making a line of 1:72 small combatants soon ... maybe he'll do an Elco eightty-footer. Garth
