I was at the LHS yesterday and on their new arrivals shelf was a Revell S-boat. At first I thought it was the old S-100 but then noticed it mentioned having a "Flak" something. Looks like a new version of the S-boat but with a different flak gun. Is that right?

hi Roger


your right, it is the old s-100 class schnellboot, but with a flakgun implacement. (revell 05002)
Other things which has changed is the addition of depthcharges, and two extra inflatable liferafts.

A very good kit, for a very reasonable price.

Looks like a nice kit. I still have the original kit in the stash so I'll probably pass on it. I thought I might have been seeing things.
