Dave O'Meara (grumpyoldman) submited his inbox review of one of those subject that we always read about their feats, but until recently there weren''t any available in model form!
I am talking about an MAS boat - early type from WWI.

Thank you Dave!

I picked up the MAS 20 at the same show Dave was at...(yes, we're good friends). All I can say is...wow, this is going to be a FUN project.

VERY interesting looking kit, mates!
Quite a unique subject! Good review Dave, thanks for sharing...how about a "built" review as well on this kit?? (hint-hint )

This is a great opportunity for a Small Craft Campaign - but not right now!
We are in a Campaign Jam (not really - but very active)!
I know at least a half a dozen persons interested in such a Campaign!!

Jeff, would you made the honours?

Count me in! (or am I one of those half a dozen, Rui? )...and if Jeff's too busy to run this one, I'll gladly step up to the plate!

If we start in the late summer (ignore my email), then I could coordinate.

I'd be showing off the MAS 20 and my scatchbuilt 1/32 S-boat (which is nearing completion).

Yes, he must
And I nee dto head west more

Skipper

EDIT: About the Campaign, and the Campaign leader we have to see this...
It's a question to see if (dah) we have members to be allowed to run it and to schedule it in a good way (enough time - proper settings)
All I can say right now is: This will be a Fast Craft Campaign
