Mick4350 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Most likely a retooling of their earlier S-100 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Nice! But I really wish they'd get busy with the pantograph and make their boats available in 1/72nd. I just plain haven't got the room for the big scale jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these days of technology I don't reckon it can be that difficult to reproduce in another size. Vosper 72' 6" overall Schnellboot 107' 6" Fairmile D 115' 1/35 631mm 936 mm 1000mm 1/48 460mm 682mm 730mm 1/72 307mm 455mm 487mm Italeri must of done OK with this series but I reckon 70% of kits have gone to people who think they can Radio Control them. If they were to rerelease them in a sensible scale ............ Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Exactly. I think they'd sell like, um...quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Second that, just sold one on as way to large to display or even keep the thing when built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Got one on pre-order to accompany my S-100. I must be mad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 My S-38 arrived the other day. Great kit and in good order. However, I would like to give a warning to those that will build the kit. The hulls have narrow arches over the torpedo tube openings. These have a moulding point that is quite large. In some cases like mine there is a blob of plastic. You have to be very careful removing it or the arch will shatter. I wasn't careful with the S-100 kit. I used a cutter on it and it shattered to the point I could not find the pieces. This time I used a fine razer saw and all went well. Other than that it looks a fine kit. Now to decide if I want to RC it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Needs to be 1/72 to interest me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
