Hi Guys,

Well with the recent announcement of the 1/35 E Boat, Italeri's excellent ELCO Boat and a neat range of other sea faring 1/35 kits my question is do you think we are any closer to a British MTB or MGB?

For me that would be the topping on the cake so to speak.

What are your thoughts, what would you folks like to see? I'd also like a salvage boat as I've mentioned before and a full hull row boat.

Italeri seem like the best if not ony possible source for these at the moment.

Ah, one can but dream.

Cheers

Alan,

With the what has, is and will released in the near future, I say anything is possible. We all thought that the chicken had laid the golden egg with Trumpeter's 1/350 HMS Hood. Then Italeri hits us with the 1/35 Elco and now Hasegawa has confirmed their 1/350 IJN Akagi.

When it comes to the model ship world, I say anything is possible.

That's my two cents.
later...Gator

in 35th...I'ld like to see Italerie do an early Elco and a 78 foot Higgins PT boat. Maybe a Vosper and an Sboot for the collectors.

Ahoy Alan

I would love to see a major main stream manufacturer produce a 1/35 Type VII U Boat. I know Accurate Armour already produce a 1/35th U Boat. One for those of us with huge display areas.


Cheers

I would like to have a Fairmile D (or any of the earlier)
:)

Alan, MK35 makes a full hull rowboat # AO53/F148 even comes with a bloke [ french] rowing it. Custom Dioramics does a full hull flat bottom dinghy which is larger than the mk35 one , #CD6109. There are also some made by the companies that make wooden ship models. try Mantua or Corel.

gotta be a Vosper.........because the voices told me so........

edit note- Just remembered the new German torpedo boat is an 'S' boot. They come out with an early E boat that has no armored bridge.

Hi Guys,

Lots of positive thoughts there.

John thanks for the heads up on the full hull row boats, and Rick for the S/E boat correction.

I shall keep dreaming, one of the smaller LCTs would be grand too lol, lol, I'm thinking plastic BTW, well cost lol, lol.

Cheers

This might be considered a ship, but how about that Japanese tracked vehicle they had during the war to sneak into the harbors and mine US warships.
I think it was Lindberg that had them on one of its new sub releases.
