Historical Description

The S-38 Schnellboot was one of the most advanced German torpedo boats (Schnellboot), used by the Kriegsmarine between 1939 and 1945. It operated mainly in the North Sea and the Baltic, taking part in actions against Allied convoys, mine-laying operations, and special missions. S-38 class boats stood out for their high speed, maneuverability, and distinctive hull line.

Product Features

The Eduard 53213 set includes complete, precisely crafted photo-etched elements that allow for the recreation of realistic period-correct German flags. The STEEL version significantly differs from classic brass sets: the parts are thinner, more flexible, and do not become permanently deformed during handling, making it easier to naturally shape the flags. Thanks to this accessory, the Italeri S-38 model gains exceptional historical realism and authentic detail fidelity.

Who is it for?

This product is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to enhance their model with the ultimate level of detail and historical accuracy. Working with photo-etched parts requires precision and basic knowledge of working with metal.
