Just received the latest in Mikro-Mir's growing range of 1/30 scale submarines - HMS M.1
The M-Class were conceived and built after WWI as gun-armed Monitor submarines - fitted with a massive 12in gun.
This new kit from Mikro-Mir is welll executed with injection-moulded hull and superstructure, an etched-brass fret of smaller parts and a small decal sheet with markings for HMS M.1 in two different colour schemes.
The box art shows her in the earlier 1920 disruptive scheme.....
The kit contents.....
Instruction Sheet.....
.... and colour scheme/ marking options.......
As I have already built a resin M.1 in the disruptive camouflage, I will be painting this new model in her 1921 scheme....
Mikro-Mir are planning to kit all 3 of the M-Class - HMS M.2 as converted into an aircraft carrier and M.3 when she was a Minelayer.
Mikro-Mir seems to be ploughing a lone furrow with their continuing release of early British submarines - more power to their elbow.
