1/72 SMS Adler (Wiener Modellbau Manufactur)

I was always attracted by these extra ordinary designs, transitioning from wind driven sailing boats to steam powered vessels. Combined with my enthusiasm about Austro Hungarian Navy it was only a close step to master the SMS Adler. Based on an original Yarrow standard torpedo boat design the A/H Navy ordered two boats by Yarrow Ship Yards. These to ships looking like an outcome of Jules Verne’s fantasy have been launched in 1885.

Even as it took me a long while I truly enjoyed mastering this kit and building the prototype model.
