Scalex Firefly Speedboat 12 inches in length. Quite rare for a Scalex boat. You have to be careful with the on/off switch , as the plastic deck can easily be cracked. This boat was previously sold under the Triang brand.

Scalex Sea Sprite

Scalex Sea Sprite. Lovely 12 inch speedboat with submersible, detachable torpedo motor. Quite rare for a Scalex boat , especially in this lovely , boxed condition. Has stickers that allows you to put different names on the boat. A good seaworthy boat as the hull can totally sealed because no workings are required in the hull , unlike more conventional toy boats.

Scalex Windsor Motor Cruiser S441

11 inch cruiser. Has all the accessories separate. A lovely complete model. This box can house a number of different models. Also , it is supplied with stickers on a sheet , rather than applied to the model. I would think this was a cost saving measure. This model also illustrates the connection between Tri-ang , Scalex and Penguin. The box has 'Tri-ang' and 'Scalex' markings , and the key is marked 'Pengiun'

Scalex Queen Elizabeth 2 with submersible torpedo motor . 18 inches in length. Missing foremast and all decals. Quite a rare boat. Manufactured in Hong Kong , but branded by an English company.
