Revell 1/72 S-100 German Schnellboat

[Jan01]

This is what I'm going to build for this SIG, wih some PE parts
This is a model that I've wanted to build for a very long time. I managed to pick this up a couple of months ago while in Overloon (War Museum in The Netherlands).

Whats in the box.
All the sprues come in a single bag. There are 5 sprues in total, a decal sheet string and the instructions.
There are no figures in this kit, so depending how far I get, I will look for some on the internet.
All the sprues are crisp and clean with no flash.








rodrant has already posted information about the S-100,

Started on the deck first, plenty of cutting and sanding. 5 hatches where the hinges and handles had to be removed and 38 parts where the railings go.

Progress with the hull and deck, it fitted together really well just a few very small gaps between the joins that I filled and sanded down.

Started on the bridge section of the boat. Plenty of cutting and sanding so that I can use the PE.

This is before I got the knife and sanding sticks to it.

After I got the knife and sanding sticks, and filled the small hole with putty.

The PE that I have to glue just to this small section.

All put together except for a couple of handles.


Still more work to do on the bridge with more PE, but this on the outside.
