Thanks Ed!

I'm gonna check out Ebay to see if I can pick up the kit and then I'll try and get some of those AM sets, but first, how is the detail on the kit OOB?

Chris,

There are no dedicated detail sets for the Mirage 1:400 scale Hiddensee.  Mirage made some excellent detail stuff for their German subs.  I would have loved to see them do similar for their other kits, but they have declined.

You can replace the railings,  hatches,  ladders, etc. with  generic 1:400 scale details from Toms Modelworks or other 1:400 sources.   Alas there are no replacements for the lattice masts

That's the one! Thanks Bondoman!

Anybody here have any tips/recomendations on the kit?

Thanks again,

Chris,

I'm a wingnut, but your post subject interested me. Google is your friend:

And a model:

You can ask the experts about the model.

Thanks!
