Mikey-1980 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Morning All! OK, this isn't strictly a "work in progress" but more of an appeal to everyones knowledge....Also I hope that this is the right forum to post in, rather than the Maritime threads.... I have been for some time, been looking for a decent scale model of Gerry Andersons Submarine, Stingray...I have never seen one produced only toys that are not exactly the best. My idea is to illuminate it as well as installing a small motor for the propeller..... If any one has any knowledge if such a model kit existed or is still in production, I would be keen to find out! thanks massively in advance if anyone can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I've built two of those Doyusha kits - they are a bit problematic shape-wise - the body is too deep and there are some other minor issues (eg no cockpit detail, incorrect window shapes, stickers rather than decals) but when built it is recognisably Stingray I scratch built a cockpit but didn't fix the window shapes as shown in this photo I took of one of David Sission's reproductions at the Smallspace show a few years back. I did have lights in mine originally but over the years something broke and they no longer work Edited January 3, 2019 by Kallisti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Belbin Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The kit Andrew is showing above is selling here . . . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Doyusha-Atomic-Submarine-Stingray-Light-Sound-Model-Kit/192761644472?epid=1923155996&hash=item2ce17d45b8:g:OO4AAOSwXitcGCw7 Not long left though.

Kallisti Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thats a decent price for it - so far... 7hrs to go so plenty of time for the price to skyrocket! I've also got one of the Lee kits in the stash. Its smaller but a better shape - but they are even rarer than the Doyusha... as for the Midori kit, I don't want to take out a mortgage to get one of those!

Mikey-1980 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Wow! Great links there chaps! I wonder if there will be a future, more detailed kit to come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I doubt it, unless there is a big resurgence in interest in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
