Fancy title - essentially it means armed fishing boat!

Brand spanking new - I don't normally go for new releases, but I couldn't resist this.

You can make it full hull, or waterline.

As might be expected from new moulds, parts are clean & crisp - it is a small model ( 1 cm squares on the cutting mat )

Instructions
A4 Colour booklet - looks clear, a bit of overkill, though, 14 stages, but only 27 parts.............

Two paint options, one neutral grey, the other dark grey - no decals

It's a small model, less than 70mm long, the detail is good for the 1/350 scale & looks to be simple to assemble. The moulded railings around the gun mounts begs to be replaced with some PE
Being a small model, it looks very lonely by itself - I think a seascape, with the 'Kutter' escorting a U-boat would be appropriate. A model which will appeal only to 1/350 floaty thing modellers.
Availability - Yes - although it's so new some shops haven't any stock yet, Price is around £9 + p&p .
I do hope ICM do some more 1/350 'small ships' - it's an area with little coverage...............maybe some tugs?

I might just be tempted to plaice a few bob on that, solely to have a dab at a small'n of course!
