Hi,
Now I am waiting some p.e. from hlj for Heianmaru.
Overall fitting is good and only starboard aft upper hull part needs to be sanded well for full hull.
Deck is airbrushed with Tamiya X25.
Regards,
Serhan

Very clean looking work Serhan.
Even JFK liked the S boat better when he had the chance to get behind the wheel of one.

Pretty impressive work on something that is only 3 inches or so long.

Sean, Kenny, Jay and Rodger thank you all for comments.
I did not like wood base tone and changed it. I am not sure about hull color but I shot X-2 and X-25 mix. Hope no problem with it
Boat base painted with Tamiya Skin tone and applied wood grain effects, using burnt umber oil.

Serhan - very nice work. I got that kit as a present for Christmas (still on its was from Lucky Model), will surely bookmark your build to serve as a guide. The PE fret in your first pic is the one included in the kit. Why did you need another PE set? Or did I misread your first line?
Excellent work as usual! Cheers

Thanks James and Kenny,
I did not used any other p.e. only inbox p.e. used for Sboat. Only its base from a 1/700 Pitroad kit.
My campaing build Heianmaru needs some extra p.e. I had to stop on it for until I receive parts for gun platform floors and boom puleys.
I could add more details on Sboat, like around fwd 20mm and its mount, but I wanted to build as what kit offers. It can also be a good companion for a Uboat, in diorama. Hey, I will buy one more
