By sheer luck I have brought my first 1-400 German torpedoboat V-106 which dates back to 1914 and was wondering if there was a photoetch kit for this model, either way I'll be searching for 1-400 rail and hatchway doors, I've never had a model quite like this, haven't got a clue about colour (no paint guide) also going away for a few days, and my wife has ordered this will stay behind, strange woman eh.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for a 1-400 PE kit for this Mirage Hobby plastic kit WW1 German torpedoboat V-106 then I would love to hear from you.

Hi Buddy. Considering where you live, I would give White Ensign a try. They do a lot of speific and generic Sets in 1-400 Scale and you may find what you are looking for...Cheers Mark..

Hi Alec, Mirage makes an etch set for this kit #008 40028-v-106  they also do one for the polish version but it looks different when you compare the 2 sets. you may be able to get it from jadar hobbies in poland. wem carries a line of ww1 german paint

Many thanks for the info, I have tried Mirage Hobby but with no luck so far, that PE set would obviously suite me down to the ground.
