You'd want the GR187 code for this, assault dinghys.  I can't find a picture of them unfortunately, but we can put a sample in with your current order?

Thanks Leon - much appreciated.  A free  dinghy with my order !  Could I have one of the GR188 supply types  please? I have a number of the smaller GR187  assault dinghies .

It reminds me of a situation in Africa in the late 1970s.  The BAT teams were obviously promoting British AVFs but could not compete with the Soviets/Warsaw Pack salesmen-


They offered a free Cuban with every T-55!  

Thanks again for first class service from Pendraken. I have just authorised Paypal - expect Dave to be on my doorstep before the milkman. Does he want the usual light breakfast -(bacon x 3 , poached eggs x3, Soda Bread, Potatobread, black pudding, sausages, beans, mushrooms) ?   Try not to flatten the roses with that dammed microlight. when he lands  ;)

These are the smaller dingy's , found whilst searching, these look like they have seated germans (another code) in them, Pendraken do now do proper figures with paddles.

Quite right.  The SEAL team I am currently painting will have a range on options in terms of craft-  a 2 man canoe (converted from an old Airfix plastic soldier pack to sit low as befits 10mm), a Mms Zodiac sourced on ebay for £1.50 and ....a dinghy type (thanks Leon) . The mission dictates the equipment- or with true war gamers abandon I  might just plonk them all on the table and let the dice roll....

We do like lots of different types of kit cluttering up the table.  It may not be realistic but it provides eye candy.
