An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:350 scale, the Mikromir part number 350-025 from the Ukrainian maker. According to the manufacturer the package holds sprues of plastic, a photo-etched fret and a sheet of waterslide decals; the markings are for the unit HMS M1 in Royal Navy service.
The M class came about during the First World War and is among the strangest submarines ever to put to sea. Beside four bow torpedo tubes it carried a single enormous gun of 305 millimeter caliber, the BL Mark IX model, with a supply of fifty rounds, and in addition an anti-aircraft gun of 76 millimeter caliber. The idea was simple: approach unseen, surface, fire one heavy round and disappear. The price was high - the gun alone raised the displacement of the vessel by several hundred tons and told on both speed and handling. The gun moreover had to be loaded above the surface. HMS M1 was lost in 1925 and the concept of the submarine monitor ended with her.
The dominant feature of the model is the gun, and it is on that that the build will be judged. Center the barrel and check it against the axis of the hull from both sides, because even a small deviation shows on the finished piece. Fill and sand the longitudinal seam of the hull, then apply a primer coat. Glue the photo-etched railings and platforms with cyanoacrylate glue only after spraying. On a dark hull use a slightly lightened shade and a fine emphasis of the plating; pure black will flatten a small model. Prepare a stand in advance.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
