R-boat (wwii german motor-minesweeper) - 1/300

This is a 1/300 scale model of a WWII german Raumboot (R-boat) used for mine-sweeping and general patrol duties. At 36m long, these were slightly longer and much slower than the S-boats. The principle dimensions should be correct, but the model is not perfectly accurate, and is intended for naval wargaming. It was heavily based on R-218, which had a lightly armoured bridgehouse, and 3 single 20mm guns.

The boat should print without support, though it is advisable for the guns.
