Hi All,

Looks like Italeri will be releasing a 1/35th scale Vosper MTB in 2010...
The UK web store www.models2u.uk has it listed in the new releases
section of their site!
This will be an interesting addition to the line of bigger scale PT's, MTB's, and Schnellboote...
Now maybe Italeri can do a Higgins PT next!

Regards, Paul S.

Sure ...

Someone does a new MTB kit ........... in 1:35 scale. And, I've got no room or money for it. Merde.

I'll tell you, it's a conspiracy ...............

I feel your pain.

I hope the rumors are true. It would be nice to see a RN boat alongside the German and American ones. Not that I have any of the others either. I suppose I can put another shelf. Now I just have to figure out how to pay for the kit, not to mention how to sneak it past SWMBO.

Hehe, its not just paying for the kit, its paying for all the aftermarket you want for it too!

I've been casting covetous eyes at their PT boat, but the thought of all that resin & PE on top makes my credit card nervous!

Seems like it's gonna be a long wait http://www.creativemodels.net/product_info.php?products_id=15264&osCsid=dfd68921cc38ee0f0c21f8f0e67d0431. I don't think they got it right, after all it's 10 years.!!
