UKR Kamikaze Boats. I recall reading that the WW2 Germans tried doing this with V-1 pulsejet engines attached to seaplane floats. Will Roden produce models of this weapon?

I see Italy gets the credit, but no mention of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Shin'yo suicide boats or the Japanese Army's Maru-Ni attack (supposed to be survivable but may as well be suicide) boats used in WWII.
 
Could be but that would be a different discussion, i think best not been held in this thread.
Not being cocky or smart or something but i like this thread for the information it provides concerning the ukr war.

Soviet Navy tried to operate the tandem of an MBR-2VU flying boat (as a control unit) and a remotely controlled unmanned torpedo boat. The system was introduced in 1935-1938. Two attempts to use it in the Black Sea in 1943 were not successful, both boats exploded before reaching the targets.

A harbinger of things to come in the Black Sea for Russia?
