Watchin the tube and came across a show on the Trieste bathyscaph. Set me to thinking, wonder if anyone makes a plastic kit of this history making vessel?

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
The only remotely similar kit I've ever heard of is this one: www.squadron.com/.../he54001.htm . And the similarity is mighty remote.
Maybe there's a resin one out there.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
I think that there was a resin set by a company called Viking several years back. They also made some Brown Water Navy kits as well.
was hoping for a monogram kit or the like. Just seems to me somebody should be making that thing....

Since it is not a warship don't hold your breath. The market for non-naval subjects just doesn't seem to be there, and few mfgs will take a flyer on a civil or government non-naval subject. I certainly would like to see more non-navy ships but those of us who feel that way are a small minority. Most of my shipbuilding friends believe non-naval subjects are just boring, and the mfgs listen to the majority.

Incase ya didnt know, Im a B-52 guy at heart. Saw a show on the tube the other night about it and thought a kit of the Trieste would be a nice change. But apperantly thats not gonna happen... Guess I wil go back and work on my NB-52A....
