So, it will soon be crabbing season off of Korea, and both sides are itching for a hypothetical fight. Any good civilian vessels to protect or harass in either 1/700th, or 1/600th scales? Smaller fishing vessels, or larger trawler types would be fine. Probably could use a modern cargo vessel or two as well, if any are available also, for the obligatory blockade scenarios. If not, guess I'll need to switch to 1/1250th, but the cost may be prohibitive, since those can be very expensive. |

Try Coastal Forces, as they might have something that can be used as such. |

Check out these. I picked this up, very cool stuff. link There is a nice mix of ships in the pack. Some very asian design, some generic small craft. Chris |

I'll second Chris' recommendation about the Loose Cannon ships. The kit includes a couple small fishing ships and a bunch of junk type ships. I'll try to get some pictures of the ones I've painted up on my blog. Dave |

Can't recall the company's name right off but there's line of 1/600 resin WWII coastal that would have trawlers. It's right on the tip of my tongue but can't quite get it right. PT Dockyard – that's it! ptdockyard.com Edit2: Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that they have any trawlers – even militarized ones – after all. |

Skytrex does some older, WWII style ones which could be pressed into service, but I was hoping for something a bit more modern. |

I put up a short post on my blog with a couple pictures of some of the boats from the Loose Cannon Productions kit.

The 1/700 Pit Road JSDF missile craft come with two small diesel/petrol craft that look a bit like small commercial fishing vessels. |
