By the way, I checked out WEM and couldn't find it, my luck it's probably no longer available.



Bob, here it is, but it's in 1/72.
As for the news, I'm still holding out for a Fairmile D 'Dog boat' MGB or MTB but I'll not hold my breath. I just hope Italeri keep them coming, I may pick up the Vosper though, but please can we have a Dog boat.

Hey Al, what was that I said about luck. Well at least I have those nice line drawings from Al Ross to work with. Looks like the release is pretty much the same as your depth charge rack or pretty close. Any way, shouldn't be too hard. I'll have to copy them out and enlarge them for the old markIII's to see them good. Does anyone have any good close up pics of Japonese landing craft or barges. Everything I find is small and fuzzy. Try to enlarge and it gets worse.

Hey Al, what was that I said about luck. .



It may have just changed. I am assuming you are planning on buying /or have the 35th PT 109 kit. I have the 596 . I dont want to use the roll off torpedoes. So I will swap you torps and mounts ( and all that goes with it as wll as copy that section of the directions for assembly) for the tubes/torps/directions that go with the 109 kit. I have a set of the 32nd Lindberg tubes, but figure the Italerie will be closer to scale and better detailed.

Very nice indeed, but what's up with $189.00??? I paid €85,- for the Vosper in my local shop the day it hit the shelf....very interesting rate, time to buy some dollars I guess.

Speaking of Vospers, I could really do with a crew (or 2)

Hey Steve, Very good. I will be P/U the kit as soon as it's released, been looking for a pre-order but haven't found one yet. Will swap out with you (parts and instructions)as soon as I can get my scared up grubby hands on it. Looks like it will be some time around Xmass for the release, maybe abit earlier. Appriciate it very much. You have taken care of the #2 big problem.
Hey Luciano, Thanks for that. Kinda figured that when I was checking out the sit but wasn't 100% sure till now. But thanks to Steve I don't have to worry about it now.
Hey Al, thanks for the line drawings. Will enlarge them and see if I can do something with them. If it's too difficult to do, at least I have the print to do a partial above the water shot to hell and back. Thanks.
