i had the project of scratchbuilding that one so I read loads about this small boat and it is indeed the military copy of a racing boat, quite speedy in fact and *really* good looking.
I saw plans too, its lines are really great and it sadly doesn't show of too much on their demo pictures: a view from front/side could have shown that better!

This is a tough one to dig up info about, but I knew that someone would be able to help us out!

Resin and myself simply do not mix, while the one piece hull is beautiful, the smallest pieces seem to be held by the largest chunks of resin almost guaranteeing broken important parts which is what happened to mine today, the spot light holder broke in two, and the handels on the machine gun also broke, there's no instructions as so few parts, I would like to have seen a stand, but it shouldn't to too hard to make one, I would love to buy the Tupolve G-5 type X until I saw the price.
