That kit looks so different from the Revell kit. Makes a nice difference.

For it's age it's still a good kit.
I've often wondered how hard it would be to convert one into the less well known R-Boat (an escort vessel, no torps, just 20mm etc and a lower speed but similar hull shape and dimensions). They put some interesting camo schemes on them, and I think one would look very nice alongside the newer Revell offering.
