Continuing their prolific range of 1/350 scale submarines, Mikro-Mir's kit of HMS K-15 is another example of the Royal Navy's steam-powered K-Class subs.
Following on from their earlier release of HMS K-4, this new version has the raised 'Swan Bow' fitted to later boats to improve their seakeeping.
The excellent box art .....
The hull is a new moulding to incorporate the Swan Bow.........
... compare this to the earlier hull at top......
The other parts sprue is also new - and has open wells for the twin funnels as well as a new bridge.....
The etched brass fret has the propellers, railings and other small parts - note the cross-shaped parts to make up the funnel wells.
The decal sheet provides water level markings, bridge windows and pennant numbers for HMS K-15, K-16 and K-22 (the ex-K-13)...
The small A4 instruction sheet gives a potted history as well as a painting guide for all 3 variants.....
The reverse shows the parts and exploded diagram style construction drawings....
This is another excellent kit from Mikro-Mir and fills yet another gap in any collection of Royal Navy submarines.
More anon.......
