I have scanned a review of the Airfix S-Boat from the May 1976 issue of Scale Models and put it onto my web site.

Page One

Page Two

Sorry about the quality of the second part but my scanner started to malfunction whilst scanning it. I decided not to "clean it up" as it affected the clarity of the text.

I have scanned many S-Boat pictures and put them up on my web site. You can see them here.

I always regarded the early E-boats (and later ones, too, I suppose) as displacement hulls (a la Manxman and Photo #11), however, photo #22 clearly shows a high development of planing.
