IPMSUpdates 16 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Review Author: Allan Murrell OKB Grigorov OKB Grigorov has provided very nice and unusual submarine in this German Type 201. This was the first post war German submarine. They only built three type 201's U-1, U-2 and U-3 and they first entered service in 1961. The had issues with the Amagnitic steel material which lead to cracks in the structure, so all were scrapped. Included is: Two Photo Etch Sheets One resin submarine Two small resin parts The detail quality is great; The parts are very delicate parts that need careful removal from the resin bases. There was no instruction sheet in the box I received to review, this was not a problem as it was a simple build although there was not much reference materials online due to this being a very short lived program. The Assembly is quick and easy. I would like to have seen some small decals. The final part is painting. I really enjoy building these small submarine kits and will look for more! They are a very simple and quick build that is fun and leads to a great display once complete. Thanks go to OKB for providing this kit to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it for them View the full article Link to post Share on other sites
