Merit International British HMS X-Craft Submarine 1:35

Summary

This is quite a simple model of an interesting subject. The scale is good in that it is neither too big nor too small and the detail is quite good from the box. It also goes together very well but is sadly let down by errors in its accuracy and omissions such as the wrong control rod configuration, lack of mine linkages and a poorly replicated propeller. None of these issues are really major and can be corrected as I have shown but they really shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Overall would I recommend it, yes for a simple build of an interesting subject but you will have to do the extra work to get it accurate.
