How's this for a bump?
OK, so I have one of these little things now.. initial construction was pretty easy, albeit the fit of the two hull halves leaves a little to be desired. Not bad, but not Tamiya.
I do have some questions though.. hopefully not difficult ones.
I tend to prefer models of things with operation history... so I'd like to do one of the boats that hit YORK. Recognizing that markings may be forever lost to history, I'd like to focus more on the boat for now. The Italeri documentation refers to early and late versions, and I can see differences in the cockpit of the model versus the photos supplied with the kit and Rui's gallery. Am I to presume the kit is either an early or late version?
What about colors; would the anti-fouling color be black? No one else does Italian paints that I know of, so what would be a good equivalent?
