Tupolev G-5 : Soviet high speed torpedo boat : 1/144 : Brengun Models

A very simple build with few parts, in fact I reckon you put this together in a day.

A strange idea, launching a torpedo off the stern and then having to turn quickly, to get out of the torpedos path. But with a top speed of 50/55 knots  not too much of a problem.

Looks great, as always.

There's a real sense of speed from the wake on the display base

Barmy looking MTB but you've done a great job as ever Jon 

Great looking wake

Fantastic display. These boats always make me look twice to determine if they are subs or surface vessels. Fascinating.

Given their speed and a rough sea, probably more submarine than boat.
