Cristiano Posted October 25, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 25, 2014 It was a Company that made wood ship model kit probably in the late sixties and seventies years. So consider that the level of the kit can be disappointing for a new modeller, since are absent the laser pre-cut components and sometimes the metal cast accessories. In addition, the wood will be very old. The Companies: Augusto Carta, Tris Model, Aeropiccola has ceased to exist since many years. They belong to the "pioneer period" of the wood kit models. When those above Companies closed, some of their projects were purchased and used by Mantua and Corel, too (and upgraded). ulrich and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimber Posted December 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) I know this post is a month old, but I have 2 models kits from Tris ( not built yet of course). I'll post some pictures in a bit of one of the kits. Edited December 2, 2014 by Grimber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoyle Posted April 20, 2016 Share #7 Posted April 20, 2016 Wait -- Revell re-badged a wood kit? Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Posted April 23, 2016 Share #8 Posted April 23, 2016 yes, Instructions are all in German but is not a bad kit, came across it by chance and have been trying to find out more details but in vain. I will post photos when I get a chance. Kit number was H-4110. Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted April 23, 2016 Share #9 Posted April 23, 2016 Ah, Revell of Germany. That makes more sense. Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Posted April 24, 2016 Share #10 Posted April 24, 2016 Hi, I have found the box out, it is so similar to the photographs above but on the green segmented section Revell has been moulded over the 'Tris'. Interestingly, I have only found two references to the kit on the internet. One still has 'Tris' in the moulding but box is Revell and the other, and mine, has references to a company called 'Hegi'.

John Hood Posted February 18, 2020 Share #11 Posted February 18, 2020 Our local Men's Shed here in Barrhead, Scotland was gifted a number of Tris model boat kits. I have started to build the Trabacolo Art SM 105. This is my first attempt at building a model boat. I'm taking my time, poring over the English instructions and referring closely to the drawings. I've reached the point where I have to fit the prow blocks (4 small cubes) but there are no instructions as to where they fit and how to go about this, so any tips would be gratefully appreciated. The planking's gonna be tricky but there seems good tips on Youtube. John Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted February 19, 2020 Share #12 Posted February 19, 2020 John, Why not open a build log? That way, we can follow along and see what you're doing. Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
