Exciting news - with the recent release of the new Italeri 1/35 scale Schnelboot S 100 Creative Models Australia, along with SAB Products, are now developing a full conversion kit to radio control what has been described as “the biggest 1/35th kitset in the world”.

It is understood that this Radio Control kit will include all running gear including motor, mount, reduction box, prop shafts, props, rudders, tiller arms, and all other necessary equipment and hardware.

It will also include some new mouldings where appropriate, formers, fibreglass, seals & boots and whip aerial.

A full set of instructions will also be included.

Please note that radio gear and batteries will not be included. All mountings and formers for radio gear and batteries will be included.

At this stage a final RRP has not yet been established by Creative Models Australia, however they are taking expressions of interest from modellers that would be interested in this kit.

Please contact Creative Models Australia directly making sure you mention modelshipwrights or post something right here, so that Creative Models Australia can gauge the interest and numbers needed for production.

HOT UPDATE!

Creative Models Australia have all new formers designed and made, motors, gearbox’s and prop shafts have now been selected and fitted, radio compartment designed, and new mouldings are about to be worked on in the next day or two.

They are right now working on decking attachment and watertightness, as well as looking into operational torpedo doors and torpedos.

It is hoped to have the test model in the water fairly soon for trial CG and buoyancy testing.

Clearly this R/C kit is in the advanced stages of development and we will of course keep you posted of updates as they happen.
