jeff1200 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 UDT 35 scale Revellthe Revell kit has a long pedigree being first released by Monogram in 1959. In those days it came in multi- coloured plastic and was clearly more of a toy than an accurate model (the hull and frogmen will float). The most recent re-release in 2012 did not seem to sell well in the UK and kits can still be found, often at discount prices. Plus points:The kit is as much a set of figures with a boat as a boat with crew figures. Negative points:The fit of parts is not good. There are a lot of sink marks. The figures are not poseable. The facemasks of the frogmen are not flat. I regret not having made flat inserts to simulate the appearance of flat glass. A lot of the detail is crude and reveals the age of the kit. Conclusions:I remember this was a nice toy in the early 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Nicely executed! I built one back then. It really seemed cooler than cool. I'd seen film of that mad retrieval system too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
