Choroszy Modelbud, from Poland, started to release last year a new series of 1/72 Midget Submarines and Manned Torpedoes. Last month they have released a new batch of 7(!!) new items.
I haven't checked this ones, but if they are of the same quality as the other previously released, have a very good quality of resin cast, accurate and a good number of parts for such small items (see Feature/Built Review in a near future).
So, enough of talk, let's get to business!
The new items are:
S11 - Kaiten II IJN kamikase manned torpedo
S12 - Mignata Italian WWI manned torpedo
S13 - Siluro San Bartolomeo (SSB)*Italian WWII manned Torpedo
S14 - Polish Suicide Torpedo
S15 - Biber (KleinKampfMittel - K-Verband) German WWII Midget Submarine
S16 - Molch (KleinKampfMittel - K-Verband) German WWII Midget Submarine
S17 - Hecht (KleinKampfMittel - K-Verband) German WWII Midget Submarine
With this and the previous releases, Choroszy Modelbud has almost all of the WWII (and more) Midget Submarines covered and some of them are exclusives and a first time in any scale/medium (like S12, S13 and S14).
My congratulations go to Tomasz Choroszy for having the courage of releasing this huge lot of strange contraptions (that I like so much)!
