S or Super S Class Submarine

[AliGauld]

Hi There,

I tried a quick search but nothing showed up for the following.

 

Has any company released or is planning to release a kit of an S Boat. My Dad served in the Sidon at the end of the war, was in Hong Kong three days before the official surrender and I would dearly love to build one as my own tribute to those who servred in her.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Alistair

Hi Alistair. Unfortunately, their is no kit for a British S boat but don't be disheartened. Last year, Starling Models released the T Class submarine and they informed me that depending on the sales of that release, they may do an S Class and if their T Class is anything to go by, it'll be very nice. @Mike McCabe, any hints??

Many Thanks for the info.

I'll keep an interested eye towards Starling.

One option, but not for the faint of heart:

Hi There,

 

Thanks for this.

I think it may be beyond me at the moment but something to keep in mind.

 

Cheers,

Sales of the T class have been a little disappointing so far, which unless it picks up, makes the chances of seeing any more submarine kits from Starling Models pretty remote.

Hi There,

Thanks for responding.

I got my T class from you on Sunday and am extremely impressed with the quality.

 

Many thanks,

Alistair

An update to this thread, since last posting the Tabard kit has actually sold pretty well and given that and the availability of a good set of plans of and S-class from a friend, then a second RN submarine kit in 1/350 is looking a strong possibility for 2020.

Of course, but I can only continue if people buy enough of them.

I'm so glad to say that Starling have produced an S Class Group III resin kit and my order is in.

To @Mike McCabe you have my heartfelt thanks for this as I can finally model the boat my Dad finished the war in.

 

Cheers,

Alistair
