Does anybody have any info on the German Sturmboot? I picked up one today at a contest.

Looks like a cool boat, but all I can think of looking at the picture is that I wouldn't want to be the one who has to steer her.. approaching a riverside , at full speed, and all guns aimed only at that one poor guy standing up in the boat while the rest is pretty well hidden...

My first ever post to MSW was to actually ask about any info on the Sturmboot.
The problem is that i am pretty sure the engine can be super-detailed as the details are quite limited on the actual model.
I know i have one pic of it with some pionneers trying to fix a bridge amongst the ice in Russia but the pic was not a close up one ..
so like I asked yesterday Kenny, if you come up with better info than i do ..
