From Nuremburg.

I'm not much of a ship guy, but this kit in this scale certainly has my attention.
Any ship-types have more info?

Thanks for posting this, Mike. Since the navies of more than 20 countries have used the OSA class cutters in eight variants, there are plenty of options for building an unique display. Just type "OSA class missle boat" in your favorite search engine and you'll get tons of hits.

The kit is listed as produced in injection plastic by Merit. I don't know them as a manufacturer of kits, just as a distributor.
But that said, I don't know much about ship modelling.

I know the Osa from old games of Harpoon and Pegasus. Really looking forward to this one.

Well, seems I waited too long on ordering this one from Axel
When I checked in around 16:00 hours the OSA was sold out


Not the top of the priority list so not a big problem. I have made a pre-order on Trumpie's HMS Roberts. That ship is so ugly I have to have it

I have the OSA-1 kit, and WOW it's a nice kit.
I think one or two crew would have been nice, and some Soviet flags.
lots of photos of The Volksmarine (GDR)on the net.

search for raketenschnellboote der volksmarine
