1/32 Thompson SMG

[Luis R.]

I'm looking for a M1928 Thompson SMG in true 1/32 scale. I thought there must be thousands in the market, but i haven't found any . Do you guys know where to get one?. I think I could convert a M1A1, in case no M1928 shows up.

Perhaps if you can find one of the Airfix Multi-pose kits. US and British troops that is.

HR Productions also make a Thompson. There is no illustration of it on their site and I have been dissappointed in the lack of detail on some of the other weapons I have bought from them but it might give you something you can improve on

Of course you can always make your own following Gordy's method in his Owen SMG thread

Believe it or not, the Airfix US Army ETO kit does not have a Tommy gun at all in it. However, the 8th. Army Desert Rats kit has an M1928. It's okay, but you can improve its detail with a little bit of work.

have you got a pic of one Pete?

I used a brass casting from Combat Series available from VLS for my Alamo Scout Project. They are a little pricey, but the detail is excellent.

John can you tell me more about the Combat Series weapons. I did a search on the VLS site but couldn't find them. -Pat

 

[John Long]

I couldn't find them either. Maybe Squadron. I know both used to carry them. My apologies, I thought VLS was still the dealer. It would be a shame if they were not available any longer. There were three manufacturers of these lost wax cast items, Cal-Scale, Collector's Brass, and Combat Series. I may be getting them confused with each other.

 

[gordy]

this kind and not the M1 right?

Uh, Gordy? What's with the Trekkie message - "access denied"? Anyway, here's a picture of the Tommy gun. By the way, thanks again to Leigh Coote for sending it out to me from New Zealand.
