Well the boat has finally arrived. After what seemed like weeks it has finally turned up. And I really feel for the courier, those boxes are heavy and awkward.
My first impressions of the kit are very good. All the colmponents and hull etc are VERY well packed and insulated.
The kit and compnents themselves look to be very well designed and well made. The piston tanks are very impressive and well enginered. All Engels electronics are made by a fellow called Norbert Bruggen. Now those of you like me who have been into this for a while will know that he has wrote a few books, like "Model Submarine technology". Which is comprehensive to say the least.
The hull and planes etc look very well made, well scribed and finished. I have had a few kits a lot worse than this one. And they even but in the resins and filler etc. Even the differences in the gel coat finish seem to be very slight.
So here goes into the building.
