Crew Mates,
Just wondering, has anyone actually seen any of these new Bronco releases in any shop ? I've been looking for the 1/350 U-Boats and S-Boat. I realize the reviews were a while ago, but I can not find any shops listing any of these kits. Perhaps they are just building anticipation prior to actual release.
It looks like they have some very interesting releases coming, if indeed, they actually are produced. It also seems Mirage has pretty well ceased on their 1/400 Sub series. Any info or opinions ?
Any info on the above would be appreciated, Thanks gang........Bruce

Bruce,

Freetime Hobbies has them listed on their site. When I was over to see them a month ago I do not recall seeing any on the shelf, but I was too busy talking with the owners to really look at everything.

Great Models usually has them all available and/or in stock; wait and look and the yeventually pop out in one of their sales: (copy/pasted from a search done today):

1/350 Bronco Models BOM5004 German S100 Class Schnellboot WWII Torpedo Boat $16.95
1/350 Bronco Models BOM5008 German Long Range Type U-IX Submarine $21.20
1/350 Bronco Models BOM5009 German Long Range Type U-IXB Submarine $21.20
1/350 Bronco Models BOM5011 Kilo Class Improved Attack Submarine $20.35

Jim & Jim,
Thanks for the info. For what its worth, Sprue Brothers also has the S100 in stock, so I'll see shortly how that stacks up against the WEM resin. I know they released a Type IX and Type IXB, didn't they also do a Type VII - or am I just thinking of Flagman.

It's definitely interesting to see all the new companies suddenly coming on the scene, plenty of plastic for us to play with. Take it easy, Bruce

Is there more than one S-boat in the box? WEMs resin Dogboat is only about 3" long in 1/350 so it could be a little plastic for a lot of $.

Trumpeter is doing an S-100 as well for something like 5 bucks. I think it also includes some minor PE, but I could be wrong.
