    This one is one of the many built
    by my Dad. I'm hopefully going
    down this weekend so I'll have
    to get some more photos.

    This is totally scratch built German
    E boat right down to the gun on
    the back and the torpedos in the
    tubes. It run on 3 motors and also
    has navigational lights. This boat
    is E9 and was handed over to the
    Norwegian Navy

    Enjoy

    Regards
    Kieron

    Oh very nice. Tell you Dad great job. You know now days plastic models of that boat can't have the Nazi red ensign, or at least not the swastika in the middle of it. I can't stand that symbol, but I don't like trying to deny history either. It was there, it should remain there in the kit.

    Very interesting link. Nice to see the old RAF boats being kept in good condition. The RAF took over two S-boats
