grsjax Posted February 23, 2023 #1 Posted February 23, 2023 Picked this up on eBay because I like unusual boat kit. Can't find anything about it on the web. Checked every forum I know of and the Constructo website (Diset is a brand associated with Constructo). Nada. mtaylor and robert952 2 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

robert952 Posted February 23, 2023 #4 Posted February 23, 2023 Does is have any copyright date on the box or instructions? Maybe a very old (in modeling terms) model that had limited production. Per info at Model Expo - the company was founded in 1942. That's why I think it may be an older model. mtaylor 1 Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert Chenoweth Current Build: Maine Peapod; Midwest Models; 1/14 scale.

Other than that no info. What I am looking for has anyone built this model? robert952 and mtaylor 2 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
ccoyle Posted February 23, 2023 #6 Posted February 23, 2023 Try the search feature. Search for it by name, subject (tartane), or manufacturer. Use the titles only option. You'll soon have your answer. My guess is no one has built one. robert952 and mtaylor 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
