1/100 KFK-363 - german ASW/harbor boat

In the past couple months I finished a number of models and the KFK-363 is one of them. The germans built a number of anti-sub / harbor patrol boats off of fishing style hulls. This happens to be one of them done in 1/100 scale. Build photos are here. It turned out to be a surprisingly involved build for only being 8-9in long. I think it took about 2.5mo to finish it all the way. I also used this project as an excuse to figure out how to make a bunch of jigs for railings and to buy a bunch of thread for wires/lines. I really like how it came out.

Really good-looking KFK there David. Love the detail and the rigging.

Not clear is this from the GPm kit which you can buy with frames,railing,etc., direct from GPM?
