Gremlin56 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Merit's 1/35th scale Soviet G-5 MTB: Merit has produced a magnificent base to work from. A little bit more interior detail would ave been icing on the cake but I am extremely happy this MTB has become hardware instead of vaporware.

longshanks Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Brilliant Julian just wot the doc ordered !! The G-5 is a cracking build. The engine room detailing adds another dimension. The figures bring it alive Top marks in my opinion, thank you for sharing it with us. Your growing fleet looks excellent, really puts the boat in perspective re size, armament, hull characteristic etc Four quite different approaches to the same problem. Might I suggest a few additions 77/80' Elco Fairmile D/B HDML I could continue..................... Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
