They are very nice items, like the life jackets could be used in other projects . I bet they wont be cheap.

These photos are only part of a large set like the LR offering. Rumor has it the RM set includes not only a lot of PE but some crew and helmets and additional resin pieces too. For example, the smoke can (resin) shows well done weld seams and has PE straps.

I wonder if they'll be offering some parts of this set on it's own or possibly in several sets? Sort of the way they've done with the 251 halftrack sets. I've already bought the Lionroar set for the PT but I'd really like to have those lifjeackets.

They have been made aware that, depending upon which boat and what time period is being modeled, some builders will need additional pieces from their kit. We don't know yet what is being decided but at least they are aware.

I sure would like to see some Depth Charges and their racks become available for this kit. The life jackets do look interesting,
