I would think that the LCVP conversion kit would be from the French Indochina conflict, or possibly the South Vietnamese Navy. Whichever, it is a very interesting subject. Thanks for the info Kenny. Al

Hi Kenny,
Thanks for the heads up. The trailer and conversion for the LCVP look interesting.

The Biber trailer looks really excellent.
I feel another Biber diorama coming on, (haven't built the first one yet) what sort of vehicle would have pulled it?
research time.

I email U models about price Si, like you I like the look of the trailer and the LCVP conversion might make a fun build for the other LCVP I have awaiting build. Also becasue I wanted to get some accessories but no reply yet.
Is anyone in contact with them? I tried several months ago to place an order by my emails got ignored so I don't know if I'll have any better luck this time.
Cheers

Hello Alan, I ordered two of U-models depth charge sets from Blast Models. You might try getting in touch with them. They might already know the prices, or be able to help. Al

Hi Al,
Tried the other suppliers but they are not stocking or are out of what I wanted.
Still no response from U models!

Hi Kenny,
I saw some Indo-China French Sailors by U Models on one of their Distributors sites, must be to go with the LCVP conversion. Interesting looking figuers, but I don't see them on U Models site which is odd.
It would appear their figure range has grown considerable.

Hi Al,
I sent another email to U Models yesterday to see if I can get the accesories I'm after so I'll wait out on that for a week or so. Tried the various distributors but they either don't have or are out of stock of the bits I'd like.

Rodolphe has been away for the last couple of months at various shows and closed for stock-taking, hence the lack of response to my initial enquiry. Back up and running now though.
