No kits in 1/35 of the RHIB specifically. The closest to the RHIB is the 1/35 resin kit of the French ETRACO (Engin Tres Rapide d'Action Commando) from Propaganda Company. It looks like it could be converted into an RHIB pretty easily. It is pricey though.




Here is an excellent scratch-build of the similar USN SOC-R boat. Mario had entertained the idea of offering it as a kit, but we never heard anything else about it. It would be a great kit. Wonder if he ever finished it??

You may have a hard time finding the ETRACO kit as the Propaganda Kompany owner is closing down his business and selling his masters...

Maybe eBay is the only option ?
