Thanks, I built that kit when it first came out, and enjoyed it back then.

Since the introduction and popularity of Italeri's Elco, there seems to be quite an interest in other company's following suit. . .that's great news for us shipwrights, IMHO, I just hope that it's not just marketing. . . ~Gunny

Great news, I built that kit many years ago any idea if they are going to re-release the Vosper as well (*with out the lunch box ) * On the vosper kit when the photos where being taken by the researcher someone left a lunch box on the deck, when the kit was released the lunch box had become part of the fittings.
