OK folks, now that we're able to bring our 1/350 Narrow Seas subjects back into full production, how about an addition? I've gotten plans for the Vietnam-era "Nasty"-class PTF. Anyone interested? Heck, if we can come up with enough info on their main opponent, the Swatow-class boats as used by the North Vietnamese, we could do one of those as well and you could have an interesting dio--or even a Tonkin Gulf Incident dio.

Hi John
The Nasty Class would be an interesting subject, mainly because there isn't any in any scale, as far as I know - and it would be interesting to see any of these in Norwegian Camo!
Of course, Swatow-class, Nanushkas, Osa and other small class crafts would be interesting (almost Duel combos).
And just to add more "noise" to your proposal, what about early small craft like Turbinia, italian M.A.S. (WW I)?
Best regards to all WEM Staff,
Rui (aka skipper)

I second the motion, Mr. Snyder...a very unique and highly interesting subject to delve into, and I think it would be a smart business move, mate, the buyer/builder interest should be there!

Go for it!
I have a co-worker who was on the USS Maddox during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. I was planning to build him the Maddox. You could help me give him that extra something!
Thank you for stopping by and asking our opinions.
