Looking for small pre-built u-boat models
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I've got a boardgame I'm putting together for a little bit of entertainment for some friends of mine and I could really do with some small u-boat or other sub models to lend it a bit of flair. I'm looking for anything about 3 inches or less (so I'm guessing 1/700th scale or less). What I don't really have time to do is built and paint them - so anything from Micro Machines-style quality up is acceptable. Die-cast or plastic, anything will do. Anyone got any idea of the best place to look? Based in the UK. cheers, Fletch |

Letum,
Thanks for the other but I fear it would be a waste of your modelling skills. I have the kind of players who throw the models at each other after a bad loss Hence I'm tempted to find something diecast and loaded it with lead for extra ballast... Fletch |

Hi, How about this?
1/700 scale German U-Boat VIIC,IXC producted by Hasegawa Water line series Item No,126 400 YEN I think it is about 3.5 US dollar.(I am sorry how much costs in your coutry) This is very very easy to make it. If you want paint it, I suggest using gray color spray before make it This is kits photos (Ruler is Centimeter 1inch=2.54cm) |
