The Germans had several versions of their S-boat, this is an early version without the enclosed bow and bridge, it is designated as the S-10 class. | |||||||
The hull is very nice and typical of their kits in quality and detail. The S-10 had more detail then the later S-100 class and all of it is cast in place. No defects or flaws were found on my casting. | |||||||
White metal castings are included for the torpedo's and
launcher tubes. They are well cast with barely a trace of any flash.
The photo etch is very extensive and features relief etching, with railings, gun shields, propellers and rudders. Everything you need to detail the boat is here. This set is common to the other S-boats so you will have a few extra parts.. |
|||||||
The instructions are well done and pretty detailed for
such a small kit. Besides the parts list, there are several exploded views
showing parts placement. A color painting guide is also included with colors
noted.

Conclusions:
This is a great little kit, and is an excellent one to start with if you have never worked with resin and photo etch. It is listed in Pacific Front's latest update for $35.00 Highly recommended Links: |
