#148 Out Fishing - Target Fixation
Spare Green Max 1:150 Fishing Boat? Time for a whimsical little diorama.
Notes
The Green Max 1:150 “Fishing boat” kit comes with parts for two boats. I planned to use one of the boats in a diorama with 1:144 scale floatplanes (still to come). That leaves one hull free to do something whimsical!
The Kit
Fishing boat Green Max No. 2168 1:150.
I got the kit at Yodobashi Akihabara for ¥919 in May 2025. See the instructions.
