REVELL OF GERMANY --GEPARD , FAST PATROL BOAT 1/144 scale

 Here I am doing a baddy on a model . I should just praise them all to $%#@ . I ain,ta gonna do it !!! This is a nice model . The flaws are substantial though . The rails are to heavy and MUST be thinned down .Secondly , the cabin (superstructure) roof will sag or rise while drying ,so WATCH IT !!!! The instructions show the kit in the box , but , the box art shows an earlier boat in the class ,for which there are NO parts included . If you decide to do the ALBATROS class you,ll need to buy two kits or find the parts aftermarket. The GEPARD class sports missiles . The ALBATROS does NOT!!!!! . The deck is two parts that NEED filling after mounting ,along the hull deck joint and where the two halves come together . Once you get all this done you,ll have a very nice representative of the GERMAN navy,s Inshore patrol boats . They are quite capable craft , believe me . -------tankerbuilder---- P.S. The hull is two halves that surprisingly fit together quite well .
