Hi Rowland,

I'm going throug the same quest as i'm planing to build a Perkasa, from the 1/35 Tamiya kit. Take a look at this site:http://www.scalespeed.com/perkasa_en.htm
There are good photos, and if by any meens, you jusut can't have your boat looking well, there Parkasa is a real bargain considering it's fully equiped, painted and finished.
For my self, there has been two Brave/Perkasa, sold to Greece in the late 50's, if any has informations on they're hull number and equipement or enven better, some photos, it would be great help to me.
Best wishes to all.
Averof

Hi
I have aquired a 1/24 scale Perkasa in good condition but would like to improve the detail on it. I have trawled the net and some got photos of models and actual boats. Photos of actual boat however are usually taken from waterline. Has anyone got photos showing deck and superstructure, either models or actual boats.

Many thanks

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to mention that there is a new Vosper Perkasa avaliable by a great manufacturer called Nautical Marine Models. Their website has yet to upload this new kit but I was lucky to get one of the first to be released and it is awsome. Fantastic hull, high detailed fittings and I mean "high detail fittings". I have added some pictures of my current build for you guys to see. Now Ive never built a President Vosper Kit but heard very bad reviews about it so I ended up buying from Nuatical Marine Models instead, well worth the money ...
