Hi as per title anyone know what more is included in the wave kit there is quite a price difference.

Scalemates suggests that the Hobbyboss kit is a rebox of the Wave kit with some new parts.

So Pete I'm better off getting the hobbyboss?

 

[stillp]

Looks that way to me Brian; if I'm reading Scalemates correctly it's the same kit, with some new parts, for half the price.

If you check out both kits on the Scalemates site, you will be able to download the instructions and see what you are getting, and even get a sprue look.

So you got a wooden deck,15 photoetch frets and 6 bags of bits

 

[Mark1]

The model does come with some railings,stairs and a few other bits so youll have a choice of whats the better to use. These are the barrels are i bought.

looking at what seem to be the signal flags, it occurs to me that the Japanese signallers must have had to learn the western alphabet before they started- same with Morse code I assume?
