I would be gratefull for some help regarding the 1/72 Revell Snowberry.
I built this kit several years ago and enjoyed it greatly.
Recently I purchased another at a great price to do it all over again.
What I would like to know is have there been any further after market products produced for this classic other than Parkins and Sirmar which I am aware of from my first build.

I am sure somebody has made some pe gaurdrails for it. Check the WEM (White Ensign) catalog as they would be the most likely to have a complete photo etch and even other aftermarket items for it.

I don't really know that anybody could improve on the Great Little Ships (David Parkins) set. Though expensive, it has everything that you need to make a truly museum piece. What exactly were you hoping for?

That's the one I was thinking of, just couldn't remember who did it. Thanks.

It is that I have not paid much attention to this model for some years Kym that I thought something else may have appeared.
As I said I was aware of the other two having used them.
I checked with WEM and they have nothing so I assume nothing new has happened.

I can't say anything about the Sirmar sets, as I've never seen a build completed with them, but if the model I saw while in the US that had used the entire GLS set was anything to go by, it would be a waste of time trying to compete. I intended to purchase the entire set at one time, but my ship modeling interests took a different direction as did my wallet.
