Hello guys i was wondering if any one has or had used the resin armoured cabin for Italeris Schnellboot. I have done a search for some reviews but there are no interior photos of the part and help would be greatly appreciated before i spend my hard earned dollars. Sorry for the link to a model seller website

I have used the Master-Casters Skullcap/dinghies for my 1/35 Schnellboote direct from the company, and been very satisfied.
Unfortunately they are out of stock of all the Boote resin parts at the moment with no date for re-supply.

This situation has been on going for 13 months up to now, although they are still advertising them on their website.
I have had their mines and depth charge sets ordered since June 2011, they keep informing me they will be available soon
Hope this helps

Hi Stephen, the moulding I aquired was a first run and very thick in places that required considerable filing . The only interior detail was raised edges for the window transparancies, which were lost during the filing. Not a problem for me as I was more interested in the exterior detailing!
