Bronco Type XXIII in 1/35th scale

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Ha! Weakling! (me too)

[trout]

O.K., you're right, I will get one as soon as it comes out. Who am I kidding?

[goshawk823]

I want one when these become available. (I want that type IX, too...) I'll just add them to the pile and get to them whenever.
Looking at the detail in the photos, I'm really impressed by what I see.

I'm with you guys -- so much already on my plate, but I can't help myself. Must .... have.... new ...... kit!!!! And poor Ellie when I kick-off: what the hell is she going to do with all this ****!? (she just read the above. Only two words escaped her lips: YARD SALE!)

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

I will wait until Mike gets it in. No worries......I find myself getting caught up in the excitement, but reality is I have enough on my plate! Finish this Aluminaut, then the Skipjack, a couple of type VIIs, and another Gato. I got time to wait.

You piggy!.....

David,

The snirfing becomes less, i only bark during the evening, She Who Must Be Obeyed is stuffing me with vitamine C and other unkown stuff, but what the heck, it helps.

I wonder how long it will take when the type XXIII will arrive in Europe, have to ring some contacts to see what is possible and when, in the meanwhile i have the same problem like Tom.
Too many things going on in the shop, i will buy this kit for use in the future, better on the shelve in the shop then looking at the pictures on the web.

Not sure if they ship overseas, but if they do shipping charges might be pretty high.

Hermill said his LHS will have some in stock around this coming Chinese New Year.

Well! Lets not be too hasty here. There has only been ONE sighted to the best of my knowledge, and that was in Taiwan.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

I thought Mike was going to bring a few in, is that going to happen or should I look elsewhere?

We were caught flat-footed on this release, Tom. Mike had contacted Bronco, and only a week ago we were assured a test-shot. Imagine our surprise to see this thing already out there in full kit form! To the best of my knowledge, Mike will stock this kit, just as soon as we can get some in.

David,

Being a good student you learned me something, always steal idea's from the best.

Yeah, it's a complete kit, even with the exhaust which will be hided under the rearbumb of the conningtower (useless for us), i've allready searched my archives to do some homework about the XXIII, there are some issue's (detailnut as i'm), but in overall they did a good job, builded straight out of the box you will have a nice boat.
Can't wait to get my hands on this model, should stand nice next to my type VII.


Manfred.

What a beauty that thing is. We'll have fun with this one, that's for sure. How's your Flu going, Manfred?

I See how it works now, Manfred -- just because I stole your ballast tank de watering system (I call it SAS), you now think you can steal my torpedo stuff (which I stole from Ron Perrott, Mike Dorey, Dan Kachur, Gene Berger .... too many victims to name here).

I'm outraged, outraged, I tell you! Hurumph!!!

So, that's the contents of the Bronco box? Wow! A complete kit indeed: polystyrene trees, clear parts, and even PE pieces. Nice! Thanks for sharing, buddy. Last one to complete his kit is a rotten egg ....

Don't forget the torpedo's guys, i've made some new plans to modify my electric launchtubes for easier use, frankly said, i stole one of David's ideas, have to build a prototype first.
Some more enlarged pics,















The last picture gave me a idea, why not use the split they allready made to the model, and fasten the SD to one of the halves.
