Schnellboot model?

[andrew ferguson]

Have there ever been any large scale German Schnellboot (S-boat) models made? Hopefully around 1/50 scale to 1/100 scale?

thanks for any help!

GPM #59 - scale 1/33

The DSM (Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum = German Maritime Museum) issued a kit for the post-world war II Schnellboot "Kranich" (= crane). Scale is 1/100. http://www.dsm.de/pkranch.jpg
It is still available from several internet vendors.

If you are looking for the more notorious S-Boote of world war II, cfm-Verlag has a kit allowing you to build two "type 38" boats but it is in the fiddly 1/250 scale:

Maybe you want to rescale it - enlarge 2.5times or to 250%.

The CFM kit is an older hand drawn model and very nice for 1/250 but I doubt if it will scale up to 1/100 and still look good. I have seen the GPM 59 kit on EBay most likely that will be your best bet on finding one.

Here is a link to our German friends. There is a thread of Wilfried building the CFM boat.

also a thread regarding a DSM product by Paul Brandt in 1:100

Good luck with your search for the perfect boat. John

I ran across a site that shows plans for the S-100 Schnellboot, detailing several parts of the boat. Thought it'd interest you...
The address is: rpalmacci.free.fr (without the three "w"). Seems to be french...

Cheers,

This should fit the bill. http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152229&highlight=schnellboot there is a build thread of a Fitter kit somewhere but haven't found it yet.
FOUND IT! http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=165000&highlight=schnellboot

fitter has a couple at ecardmodels as well.

You can order from ECardmodels.com. Wished someone would do the earlier version E-boot. I have this from ECardmodels, (S-Boat) and have thought about scaling up to 1/72 scale.

GPM did one in 1/33 scale I don't know if she is still available though .

Oh Gixergs if only:thumb: You don't know where a fella might find one of those puppieswall1. Rick

Afraid not I was looking for the old Airfix kit when I found out about this beauty I don't even know if it is still available. You could try contacting Chris at http://www.marcle.co.uk/ he is very helpful and might have a contact he can use to get you one otherwise its googling till you get one.Good luck and don't forget a build thread.
