Choroszy Modelbud, from Poland, started to release last year a new series of Midget Submarines and Manned Torpedoes. Last month they have released a new batch of 7(!!) new items.

Those are very cool! But why 1/72? They must be minute!

Thanks for sharing, Skipper!

Hi Rudi

I think that the choice of scale is valid, it complements other manufacturers items (if you want to have "the full collection") and could be a good benchmark for bigger (and more expensive) like 1/35

Hi Nikolas, sorry for the late reply
I am building and writing a feature article on their item SLC Maiale, and I could say that are included: interior e-motor, bateries, shaft and some more parts that once the "hull parts" (torpedo) are glued, are "lost" forever. Some air bubles in the cast, difficult instructions and some missing parts are the cons that I have to point.
The first is easily solved, the second is a question of studying the diagram and the parts, and understood what fits where and when. I was really mad about the missing parts, but I scratch them - You can read all the adventure in a next feature here in Armorama!
But I can say that the theme and subjects are Great!

How is your Linse sprengboote coming?
