This week I finally got around to putting together my starter set for Cruel Seas. Now, I’d like to think I know a thing or two about model building, but I’ve never tackled a boat before*.
While the boats in the starter set are “technically” easy to put together, if you’re anything like me, telling a 1/300th Vickers from a Oerlikon machine gun is a little more challenging.
I found the guide in the box wasn’t too helpful, so I decided to put together the color-coded guide below to make things easier. If it helps, I’ll create one for the German boats too.
*Except for a brief flirtation with some Langton ships, but we don’t talk about that.
