Welcome Warpatroller, Nice to have you aboard. My name will also be on the list to get a Bronco 23. Looks detailed. Detailing is Great, therefore good.

IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY! -
I'm thinking rack-and-pinion for the rudder. This thing is most do'able as r/c.
This plastic model kit (traditional injection type) at 1/35 and Mike is working to secure 1/72 kits of the Type-21 and Type-9... Soon the lake will be safe for National Socialism (yikes!).

I seem to remember a Type XXIII project in 1:72 that somebody way high on the food chain started a post on...
A type XXIII in 1:35 would probably be better than the 1:72 version, but the 1:72 version would be a fine complement to the 1:72 Type VII and Gato kits already on offer.
Just sayin'...
BTW, Bronco has a good rep in the scale tank world for static models. I'm looking forward to their 1:35 Type XXIII. Perhaps if it's successful, we'll see other small subs, like the 206s, 209s, etc. picked up in this scale.Last edited by Outrider; 01-01-2013, 02:50 PM.Comment

with Bronco's XXIII and Revell's Type IX, all my lunch money is going to be going towards plastic kits.Comment

Thanks for the welcome guys! And thanks, David, for letting me register on your forum. Even though you don't know who the hell I am and why I am breathing your air (Yes, I've seen your tee shirt).
I guess 2013 might be the year of the injection molded Wolf Pack!
The VacBoots your referring to must be Mr. Gerza's. He has a 1:35 XXIII also.
Which boat hull, in your expert opinion, would hold up the best for RC use, this vacuform or the injected BRONCO? Oto states wall thickness of his models as 1.2mm, 1.5mm and 2mm. It is not clear if his XXIII is 1.5mm or 2.0mm. He states both dimensions on his site for the wall thickness. I'll have to measure my 32nd P., as I don't remember how thick it is. Oto really gets good detail out of his vacuform kits when he builds them! Look at the commander and first watch officer action, scope, torpedoes.. He is a wizard himself..

Manfred, sorry about you being under the weather. What site did you find these?If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Sorry, Manfred -- that'll teach me not sneeze into the monitor when I have your page up. Wonderful looking stuff about the Bronco Type-23. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing. Drink a lot (of water), stay warm, and get plenty of rest -- you're one of the last of the breed, pal.Who is John Galt?Comment

this hobby shop has it listed for about $103 (not including shipping) and a March release..... Maybe optimistic on the release date.If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Wonder if this would be a better conversion project than the upcoming 1/72 Type IX from Revell.Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment
