Speaking of the F-Lighter, we will begin shipping the kits next week after the new etch arrives. It's the ideal opponent for your 1/350 USN PTs and RN MTBs/MGBs. Peter Hall has worked out a nice range of possible camo schemes.


These are going to be what, two or three inches long? I didn't even know they made such small kits in 1/350.

Here's the link for their "Narrow Seas" line

Narrow Seas

Yes they are small, but if you look at the pictures... they can fool you

Interesting...It would be sort of neat to have one and then compare its size to say...a Nimitz class carrier.... It would look like a row boat!

I like the fact that they're making these in 1/350th. I try too keep most of my ships to this scale...easier for my sausage fingers to work with.
That way I also have a size comparison....

"Sausage fingers?" PE on a 1/350 of a 60 foot long boat? I have problems with PE on a 1/350 of a 900 foot long ship. I can't imagine what it's like doing it on one of these.

Well...this would be the exception. I do have a hard time with small parts. It's one of the reasons I joined the MM campaign just so I would have an excuse to work with something small. Tweezers are not an option because then I just shake...so..I need to learn to adapt.
