1:72 seems to be a forgotten scale when it comes to boat building, very few parts available in that scale. Which I find odd as smallish real craft come out at a fair size and biggish real craft come out also at a fair size, ie a 90 metre boat models at around 1.2 metres, a 40 metre boat (inshore fishing boats etc) come out at around half a metre or so.

It seems an ideal size to be totally forgotten, yet go up to 1:96 or 1:100, 1:144 there are loads of parts available. Go down to 1:35 and you are buried under a mountain of parts.

OK, so that takes care of the rant, suppliers? hmm I tend to source mine from Holland or Germany who do a fair amount but even there the preferred scale seems to be 1:50........

First is a link to a downloadable pdf catalogue for ModellBau Kaufhaus drool over the parts available in europe!
