by now, everyone is probably familiar with this boat. It's by chap mei and has been on shelves in TRU for years. A neat little boat.

I was reading about iranian navy fast attack boats and the threat they pose and notice that they look a bit like the true heroes boat.

Could make for an interesting custom. It's on the small side. These fac's are about 50 feet in length but stil, it has the overall look. Might make for an interesting project amid these days of rising tensions.

Those are boghammars, I've had a couple of run in with them. Not as fast as they look and in poor repair. Just sayin.

I've seen it in a toys-r-us store. And thought I'd have a lot of work to remove all excessive weaponery to get a more realistic look for a very small fast patrol boat. I suppose that 2 machine guns and 1 AA missile launcher as light as a Stinger would be anough for a boat with place for maximum 3 men crew.
