1/350 Konig class Dreadnought
Photo etch set by White Ensign
models |
| If you plan to build your Konig as she appeared at Jutland
or prior to that you will find that this Photo etch set provides you with
some missing pieces that are not included in the kit. First and foremost
is the torpedo shelves and netting. This set is not for the feint of heart,
as it includes hundreds of brackets and parts that will test your endurance. |
 |
| Not every modeler will choose to include all the parts, but they are
there if you want to use them. The boat davits are very impressive, and
will definitely enhance your kit. The instructions provided in the kit
are very helpful and you will need them as White Ensign Models has a reputation
for providing even the tiniest of details. They are well written and show
correct placement of the parts on the ship and the various subassemblies. |
