Super detail Ken,what an elegant subject for modelling,nice model building !

Komet was the German governors yacht for German New Guinea and was built in 1911.
She was armed and carried a crew of 160 . She was taken as a war prize by Australia and served as a patrol boat. Later she became a pilot boat and was finally broken up in 1955

Hi! Ken. I'm about to build the Deans Model "Komet" your comments about the poor quality of plans etc are very disturbing."What did you have to do to produce the fine model you have just built?".You help would be much appreciated.I live in Perth Western Australia.
