Foes
Thank you Don and Wyvern!
Once I started with the MTB/MGB I needed foes, but noting available in 1/400, so I looked somewhere. This is, I think one of the most important benefits of paper modeling, resizing (try that with pl----- or worst re---).
These are card models of a Schnellboot and a Räumboot by Wilhelmshavener reduced from 1/250 to 1/400 with some photo-etched and minor additions to the masts. When reduced to 1/400 the S-Boat measures the same as the Heller models. This is a composite of different classes with an oversize pilot house. The R-boats were general purpose craft used for escort, patrol, minesweeping, rescue and, when needed, evacuation!
Let's see what you think.
ps: BTW I took these pictures before I was a dad
