A medium-sized, but very complex, well-designed and very richly detailed model of a warship, painted in colorful camouflage (1943) for only medium-experienced and experienced modelers. There is a very symbolic color reserve, the text assembly instructions are large and detailed in Polish and English, the graphic ones are simply huge, informative, easy to read and both of them will really help a lot in the process of gluing the model. Excellent print quality.
