Both Graupner and Robbe only produce semi scale models, and I have been saying this for years and have been cried down for it. Graupner are a little better than Robbe though, and do attempt to make them a little more scale like.

If I remember rightly the full sized Wiesel had a four prop output, but can't remember if it had four rudders as well.

I have to admit, as on my first post on this subject, it was the most authentic handling boat I have ever built, a bit touchy in reverse, as too fast and you can get water onto the deck from the low stern, but if built and sealed well no problems from that.

If anyone wants to build one of these, I do have an original version of the kit sitting in my loft (with all fittings, and some). Cross my palm with £100 and be willing to pick it up and it is yours.
Because of my disabilities now, I won't be able to build it.
