Conclusion

I like these small kits. It's not easy to build, lots of patience is needed but the result is always pleasing. I wish boats in this quality would be on the market in 1.64 scale for the royal navy, the British Navy and else. Falconet, like other Russian manufacturers, always offers beautiful small models here that produce great results with high-quality materials and a reasonable price.

Unfortunately it has become difficult to purchase these kits but it is worth a try.


Pro

• Pear Wood
  
• Small Project
  
• Scale 1:48
  
• High Quality Photo Etch sheet
  
• IMO very good Image based Manual
  

Contra

• None
  

As usual a 100% buy recommendation.

My sincere thanks go to Falconet for sending this kit for review here on Dubz Modelling World.
