Looking through an old copy of Scale Modeling Buyer's Guide (1993)
I noticed an ad by Robert Schinella on a 1/30 scale of the twin .50 cal machine gun turret ($29.95 with 61 parts. I tried to contact hom to no avail.
Can any one help?

Bob Schinella used to live somewhere in NY. Ten or fifteen years ago, he stopped by Bangor for a visit and gave me one of his 1/30 scale turret mounts. It was all photo-etched brass and, especially for the time, very delicate ad highly detailed. I think I still have it somewhere. Don't think he sells them anymore.

Hi Browndog,
Thanks for the information. Is it possible to send me copy of the instruction sheet you mentioned. I like to use it in my forthcoming
book AMERICAN PT BOATS IN WW II (vol. II) with your permission of course. Do you want me to credit it to Browndog or your real name?

This sounded very familiar so I just did a search through the stash and I have a complete set that he did in 1/20th scale - I had actually met him somewhere and after looking at an assembled set he had I bought the 1/20 scale - I have all the drawings, instructions, PE fret and a color photo of the finish turret - they are of course available on loan if you want to show them for the book
