i have seen a big version of this ( approx 50 inches) at the warwick international boat show a few years back, plus there was a set of GRP mouldings at a large scale recently on ebay, for £300- i was tempted but divorce costs more than £300 and the wife was serous!!!

This seems a really good model. I have the fireball XL5 matchbox version now which i refuse to make because of how rare the kit is.

Hi guys, i checked subpirates a while back and got in touch with him but he hasnt even tested it yet because something broke and he hasnt had a chance to fix it, so im still in the dark really.

A guy at our lake has a 3-4 foot one which we have yet to see 'cos when he says he'll bring it he doesnt turn up, so still looking forward to see it go though (its only a surface runner though).

apparently this is quite rare but i guess that doesnt matter anymore, but whats annoying me is i paid £60 for it thinking i might not get hold of one again, but on monday i won a bid on ebay for £18. Still at least now i have a spare in case the first one goes wrong, or even do the surface runner and later on if i want a bigger challenge i could convert the second one to dynamic dive.
