Model Forum / General / Models / May 20081/35 Schnellboot Italeri
Italeri showed their "hottest" kit which is the 1/35 ITA5603 Schnellboot S100. We took several pictures of this kit with details from stern to bow. Pic. 1, Pic. 2, Pic. 3 http://www.afrikakorps.org/modelkitreviews.htm Click on to see enlarged pictures. Thanks to Harold Stockton for bringing this up in SMML. Plus aftermarket pototetch and accessories it will probably set us back by $300. > Italeri showed their "hottest" kit which is the 1/35 ITA5603 > Schnellboot S100.

In scale, they must be around 15-20 feet long and probably weigh a hundred pounds or more each. And what's the need for the pointed steel-shod end? Harpooning downed RAF fliers in the water? :-D > with the pic offered, now about a which would win debate btwn the PT > boat and the S100. > S-boats were significantly faster than PT boats, as well as better built and armored, so they probably win. The model just _begs_ for RC - and since it's the later, more streamlined and armored version than the Airfix early type, is a lot more aesthetically appealing than the Airfix one.

So, When are we going to see it in the stores? >Italeri showed their "hottest" kit which is the 1/35 ITA5603 >Schnellboot S100.

Photos at http://www.hlj.com/hlj_gallery2/v/nuremberg/naval/ Somehow it doesn't look quite right; boxy kalotte, "plastic" looking. Italeri reused the 40 mm Bofors rear deck gun instead of 37 mm German version. >Italeri reused the 40 mm Bofors rear deck gun instead of 37 mm German >version. Oops. My mistake. It is the 37 mm German cannon. 4 am with insomnia isn't a good time to see things well. > >Italeri reused the 40 mm Bofors rear deck gun instead of 37 mm German > >version. > > Oops. My mistake.
