Regan. Not mine (picture) but yes very nice, I suggest you buy a publication little seen on the shelves entitled "model boats" and peruse the adverts, of which there are a few, and there will be something there to go for. Or you can cheat….

Hi Regan/Ashley.     This is a Billings Flyvefisken(Flying Fish) kit sadly no longer available as far as I,m aware. A standard Flex 300 design, she can quickly change from a patrol boat to attack or minelayer. She is powered by three MFA Como 385,s on triple shafts and rudders. Fitted with a morse light generator,  nav lights and revolving mast head radar. The 76mm main armament gun can train and fire water through the barrel. The model is fitted with a Sirmar Harpoon missile launcher ABS hull, ply decks and plastic upperworks with brass fittings. This is an old picture of her on the water at Kearsney Abbey in Dover, she is still operational. There is a photo of her turning at speed somewhere in the gallery.

Hope this helps   Regards  Alan…
