Seems like a nice addition. Getting more bang for their buck. But hey Italeri, were is our 78 foot Higgins. We now have 2 Schnellboots and 2 Vospers and 2 elcos but no Higgins. We know you can do it and would most likely sell very well.

Ya! What about a Fairmile D or even an HDML? Still, I like this S-Boat.

Would love a Fairmile too, so many options MTB, MGB etc,
However I will admit this is my favourite S boat class, will fall for one.

If it's anything like their previous S100, it will need a couple of $100 in AM upgrades.

The S38 looks like a nice build and would also contemplate buying.
My concerns are the 2cm tub at the front.
Serious issues on the S100 and a lot of work, it would be a shame if Italeri did not address this area as it is a huge let down on a beautiful kit.
Biggles,that's about right.
S100 debt for a modeller to do the extreme dream
Big Ed eduard detail set $130.00
Metal barrels :$35.00
Italeri S100 crew :$30.00
If you want to venture where few go
Azimut S100 crew
Command bridge crew:$35.00
2cm Crew :$35.00
37MM Crew :$35.00

Yes, that infamous bow gun tub...way too small, and a helluva job to correct... among many other things!
