Why this kit matters
The Schnellboot, known to the Allies as the E-boat, was one of the most successful fast attack craft of World War II. Designed for speed, range, and heavy striking power, these vessels operated in the North Sea, Baltic, and English Channel.
The S38 series featured improved hull design and armament, allowing effective night attacks against Allied shipping. This kit represents a key development in naval warfare where speed and surprise played a major role.
How to use it
Build using plastic cement and finish with appropriate naval paints. The completed model can be displayed on the included stand or incorporated into a harbour or sea diorama.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
