 Schnellboot
Typ-100
New from Italeri this large scale Schellboot Type
S-100
Swarms of them emerged from the morning mist,
launched their lightening attack and disappeared as
quickly as they had come.
They were called the "Greyhound of the Sea". At the
beginning of World War II the Friedrich Lürssen
shipyard, Vegesack carried out successful pioneer
work and developed a fast, seaworthy type of
speedboat that was capable of top speed even in
heavy seas, had brilliant manoeuvrability and was
built until the end of the war without major
modifications.
These speedboats, also called S-Boats, generally
proved their worth on escort and security missions,
sea reconnaissance, mine warfare and in particular
in combat against enemy submarines and surface
units. They operated primarily off the Dutch and
French coasts, along the English coast and in the
Channel as well as in the North Sea and the Baltic
and were also used in the Mediterranean and the
Black Sea.
The ultimate variant to be operational in
significant numbers was the so-called S-Boat type
S-100, which was produced from 1943 onwards and is
reputed to be the best fast patrol boat of its time.
The S-100 class was also called the "calotte", as it
had a rounded armoured bridge made of welded
segments (approx 10-12 mm armour plated steel) It
was driven by 3 Daimler-Benz MB 511-V engines giving
it an overall capacity of approx. 7500 hp and
developing an outstanding speed of 43.5 knots
(briefly accelerating to 48 knots).

 WP
U-16 Mini U-Boat
The U-16 is based on a submarine operated by the
German Federal Navy.
The sub features a real static diving system
utilising a vertical movement motor which controls a
flood tank.
As the tank floods, the boat starts to sink under
its own weight; it surfaces using the same method.
The result is that the model can "hover" (remain
stationary) in the water.
Excellent manoeuvrability is obtained by the stern
thruster combined with the relatively short hull -
the model is shorter than scale. The drive battery
can be charged quickly and easily, as the switch
socket doubles as the charge socket. The two red
searchlights glow when the boat is running, making
the model look truly realistic. As the submarine is
so small, it can easily be operated in the bath or
an aquarium.
Operating instructions in German, English and
French. Factory-assembled and painted model
submarine, ready to run; radio control transmitter,
battery charger and small items.
RC functions :Right / left
steering ,Drive motors On / Off ,Fill / drain flood

approx.132 mm, Beam approx. 33 mm, Height approx. 50

 New
From Model Slipway
The Tamar class is the result of several years of
research and development by the RNLI to produce the
next generation of slipway-launched lifeboat. It is
virtually unsinkable and if it capsizes in the
stormy seas around the British Isles, it will right
itself within a few seconds. The Tamar will
gradually replace the Tyne class.
The lifeboat includes the computerised Systems and
Information Management System (SIMS) that enables
crew to control many of the lifeboat's functions
remotely from the safety of their seats. Other
features include advanced ergonomics that reduce the
impact on the crew as the lifeboat crashes through
waves, and a powered Y-class boat stored behind a
transom door to allow immediate deployment. The
Y-boat is accessed by lifting a section of the rear
deck, then launched and recovered on to a ramp
provided by the lowered transom door.
The kit contains all the required parts to build the
model:
* Two glass fibre mouldings: the hull and the deck *
Prop-shafts, propellers, brass rudders; a
bow-thruster tube * CNC-cut and printed styrene
parts for the construction of the cabin * Detailed
cabin interior comprising the seats and front
bulkhead from vac-formed styrene * A set of fittings
and stanchions manufactured from high grade cast
alloy * Three large frets of etched brass components
