How detailed are the small boat fittings?

The kit includes photo-etched parts for fine deck fittings, offering clear representation of railings, davits and other small equipment common to utility boats.

Do I need special tools for assembly?

Basic modelling tools suffice for plastic parts; for photo-etched items, a fine set of cutters, a bending tool and precision tweezers will help achieve neat results.

Can I use these boats in diorama scenes?

Yes, these boats are well suited to dioramas showing harbour activity or ships at anchor and can be painted and weathered to match the scene.

Is this set compatible with other brands of 1/350 ships?

Compatibility is generally good with other 1/350 ship kits, though minor adjustments may be needed for exact mounting points or fitting on some aftermarket models.
