Fabulous Mike ! Id never heard of this before now and have to admit when i first saw it I thought it was a midget sub!! A fascinating craft and a superb model , without the paint tinlet I'd have said it was a much larger scale . Excellent work on a tiny kit , cheers tony

Lovely build, so small

I though this too, weird design. Nicely done Mike, this looks awesome, and it is a change from the usual aeroplanes.

As a torpedo boat fan I love it. I still can't get over the quality of your tiny builds. Hell I wish my 1/35 boats where that good.

Wot! No wings?


I'm so used to drooling over your aircraft builds I didn't even look at the title of your thread before I opened it. Nevertheless, this has the same immaculate build quality that your aircraft have. I like it very much.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope Brengun produce some more subjects in this scale, the kit was pretty much flawless (though the decals sucked).

Very nice!


Is it just me or do the camouflage colours look a lot like the British Temperate Sea Scheme (Extra Dark Sea Grey/Dark Slate Grey) as applied to aircraft likely to operate over water?


Cheers

What a cracking job you've done on that Mike....... Superb detail on such a small scale. Fantastic.
