Hi all
This is the Mirage German WWI Torpedoboat. Since I've not been able to find any PE set for this kit, I used some left over PE and barrels from the spare box. The masts were replaced with various metal parts, to preovent them from bending during rigging.
I unfortunatly lost the left propeller, so if any of you Guys have one to spare, please let me know

Very nice job. First time I see this kind of boat as a finished kit. The rigging is indeed impressive

Very nice build!

I really like your use of spent cartridges as mounting pedestals.
