Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the German KFK war fishing cutter in 1:144 scale from the German manufacturer Revell. The set comes in the Model Set edition: alongside the sprues with the parts, the decals and the instructions the manufacturer also adds the basic paints, a brush and cement for polystyrene. It is a newer mold, so the deck fittings are crisper than on older ship sets.
KFK stands for Kriegsfischkutter, that is a war fishing cutter. During the Second World War the German navy had vessels built that were derived from an ordinary fishing cutter, because they were simple and cheap and could be built in shipyards all over Europe, including the smallest ones. A single type then served a wide range of duties: as a patrol boat in the approaches to harbors, for mine hunting and for escort work. The hull was wooden, which was an advantage in exactly that mine work.
A wooden hull deserves more than a single flat tone. Paint the deck with a base color and once it is dry bring it to life with a darker wash in the seams between the planks and with a dry brush along the edges. Paint the small deck fittings and the armament while they are still on the sprue. In this scale the rigging can be replaced with thin thread stretched between the mast and the superstructure. The finished model looks best on a base that stands for the water surface; on a small vessel, ripples drawn into acrylic filler are enough.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. In the Model Set edition the basic paints, a brush and glue are included in the package; other accessories are not.
