A Question About The AIRFIX S-10 Class Schnellboot
Posted by PTConsultingNHR on Saturday, June 23, 2012 3:03 PM
Hello,

I have a question about a budding theory in my head.

The AIRFIX S-10 Class Schnellboot kit ...

Could that, by a modeler with a lot of skill, be used as the basis for a model of one of the Regia Marina's MS boats?

Just wondering.

having built the 1/35 MAS and looking at the box art, no. be better off using an airfix vosper but, now building the 1/35, that would still be quite a job. the s-boat hull is longer and thinner, you need torpedoes because they weren't in tubes and the 2cm aa gun doesn't look anything like an oeliken (sp?) or a german one.

Wayne,

Hi.  First, thank you for replying.

But, I wasn't referring to the MAS boats, I was referring to the MS boats, which were based on the Lurssen design.

Thanks,

Garth

That was what I thought.  OK.  Thank you ... Different guns ... modify the tubes, some other items too.  Yes, it could be achieved.
