Rob,
Depending on what type you decide to build, what are you considering for armament? Aside from DreamArts, Tamiya, etc... do you have any good sources for guns &/or fittings?
My S-38 will be Med-based with a 2cm FLAK on bow, Zwilling or Dwilling amidships & 4cm Bofors on the stern. For the S-100, I've been toying with the idea of building this as a prototype S-712 with the stern tubes. We'll see...
