Italeri's Schnellboot modelers, greetings!
     Like you, I dashed into the assembly of this great looking boat and as I was going further ahead in the build, a number of rough errors came to my knowledge, asking the detail lover I am to have them corrected in a way to give this 1:35 scale model a better matching representation.
     Below are some of the modifications for you to help improving the details your Schnellboot is lacking and thus to avoid in the same way to spend too much money!
     Each original plan comes in a 300 dpi Jpeg format and will be delivered to you by email once your payment notification from Paypal is received. Should you wish to pay by bank transfer, please contact me.

Liebe Italeris Schnellboot Modellierer, hallo!
     Wie Sie stürzte ich mich in den Zusammenbau dieses grossartig aussehenden Bootes, und, während ich weiter im Bau voran kam, bemerkte ich einige krasse Fehler, meines Wissens, und fragte mich, den Modelliebhaber, wie ich sie auf eine Art beheben lassen soll, um diesem 1:35 Skalamodell eine bessere zusammenpassende Darstellung zu geben.
     Sie finden unten einige der Änderungen, die Ihnen helfen, die Details Ihres Schnellbootes verbessern. Somit können Sie übermäßige Unkosten vermeiden!
     Jeder ursprüngliche Plan kommt in ein dpi 300 Jpeg-Format und wird an Sie durch eMail geliefert werden, sobald Ihre Zahlungsmitteilung von Paypal empfangen wird. Wenn Sie durch Banküberweisung zahlen möchten, treten Sie mit mir bitte in Verbindung.

Chers modélistes de la Schnellboot d'Italeri, bonjour !
     Je me suis lancé comme vous dans le montage de ce superbe navire et au fur-et-à-mesure que j'avançais dans son montage, de nombreuses et grossières erreurs se sont fait connaître, réclamant au puriste que je suis de les corriger, de manière à donner à ce modèle au 1:35 une représentation plus proche de la vérité historique.
     Je vous propose ici quelques-unes des modifications qui vous permettront d'améliorer certains détails de votre Schnellboot qui lui font défaut et pour une somme modique, d'éviter par la même occasion des dépenses excessives !
     Chaque plan original est au format Jpeg en 300 ppi et vous sera livré par courriel après réception de votre chèque pour la somme correspondance ou par notification de votre versement par Paypal.

Italeri did not represent the Flak gun shield as seen in archives for both S-204/205 or the Squadron book #4018 "Schnellboot in Action." The drawing explains how to add their sorely lacking armored sides.

Four lockers are supplied with the model. In fact, all but one on portside of S-205 were mounted vertically, when on S-204, none of them stood flat.

  2CM BOW FLAK
MOUNT & FITTINGS

While parts featuring our bow gun are either incorrectly designed or wrongly located, the major error here was to reproduce the gun to elevate by only a few degrees, when in fact the whole mount and fittings (gun, handwheel, sight, shoulder rests, etc.) articulated for firing on a crosswise shaft seating underneath...
For the "daring" modelers, this diagram will assist to replicate the piece with more authenticity.

    DEPRESSION RAILS
Since these rails were designed for the guns to prevent inadvertent firing, Italeri's rails shapes are consequently not suited for the purpose as can been seen among others, picture on page 45 in Squadron.
Want to set the record straight?
Here are your amended rails!
