The new engine technologies, compared to First World War versions, provided greater performance and operational efficiency. During the 1930s the German Kriegsmarine developed the famous S-class motor torpedo boats. Between 1939 and 1940 the S-26 series was built and characterised by a forecastle integrated with two 533 mm torpedo tubes. The aesthetic features of the bow were maintained and further improved in subsequent versions. The S38 was one of the most celebrated Schnellboot versions, with almost 100 units produced. They were 35 meters long with a full load displacement of over 100 tons. With its Daimler Benz 12-cylinder engines it was able to reach a maximum speed of 39.5 knots.Colours suggestedF Black 4768AP | F.S. 37038MG Brass 4672APF Dark Ghost Gray 4761AP | F.S. 35237F Dark Tan 4709AP | F.S. 30219G Green 4669AP | F.S. 14090F Guards Red 4632AP | F.S. 31350MF Gun Metal 4681AP | F.S. 37200F Gunship Gray 4752AP | F.S. 36118F Insigna Yellow 4721AP | F.S. 33538F Leather 4674AP | F.S. 30100F Light Brown 4305AP | F.S. 30219F Medium Gray 4746AP | F.S. 36270F Red 4606AP | F.S. 31400MG Silver 4678AP | F.S. 17178MF Steel 4679AP | F.S. 37178
