Thanks for adding me, I might build other U-Boat since I ordered a other one Mirage 1/400 U-673 Type VIIC/T2 also. Not sure yet seeing as I have a big GB list already, I will see after I build the first one. Just hope I get my order by Friday.

Looks like we will be the only two in this GB. Back to my kit got it Friday and built it today, and here are some pictures

Pretty easy kit only 27 parts, just had to watch on the plans were some stuff went. Also some parts needed some lining up, next up its time to paint the waterline.

Looks like you're doing a great job.  Nothing on my kit seems to fit together well, which is why I have little done.

Is it too late to join the group build? If not I might go for one of those small 1/400 subs myself!
