Hi
I hope it is Ok to discuss other manufacturers products on here?
If not please remove this post.
I have been talking to Oto Gerza from
www.RCSUBS.CZ about which photo etch set to buy for my 1/48 Trumpeter kit.
He has been very helpful but due to the limited English I'm a bit confused about the following. Can anyone put me correct?
Also has anyone used these sets yet?
He has also sent me all his PDF instructions which are excellent.
My question to him was what are the differences between his large etch set SKU0163 other than the fact that it is a very bit etch set and which includes all the decking etc.
And SKU0171 which is a smaller kit and called a 'repair' kit for U-552.
SKU0163 and SKU0171 have some different parts so I assume they are for different submarine versions?
For example the smaller repair kit SKU0171 has an SG radar on the Bow but the larger kit SKU0163 does not?
Confused?
Am I missing something very obvious?
His reply below.
""
if you are building the exact version of u-552 so the manufacturer has broken the shapes and holes in the hull of the submarine.
Set 0171 is a complete submarine repair. see instructions on the web.
the set 0163 is the most important and replaces a completely new deck that is then with holes through.
everything sticks to the original deck that is partially removed.""
