1. Use dark nylon thread for your rigging. (sewing shiop...)

2.  Net cutters pretty much disappeared with the early Type VIICs...

3.  mid to late war Type VIIs had various armament changes...there were the u-flak boats, and various combinations of tower designs with cannon/flak changes.  Try to get your hands on a copy of Vom Original zum Modell Type VII for a good photo reference of various changes to the class.  Also, Squadron's U-Boats in Action has some decent photos.  Also, visit uboats.net for more information about the boats. If you can find someone with Fritz Kohl's planrolls. there are various iterations shown on one of the sheets.

Type VIIC U-boat questions
Posted by Plastic_Punisher on Friday, December 26, 2008 8:25 PM

hello all,

im going to be starting the revell u-boat here soon and im trying to plan out a few things before i get going.

1. does anyone have an idea as to where to get some aftermarket rigging, they give you black thread in the kit, but something else would look nicer

2. net cutters. revell have them on the VIIC but not the VIIC/41 and i cant find much online about when they where removed from the ships, i have seen a bunch on pics with them on a VIIB

3. did only the VIIC/41s have the heavy flak gun emplacement?

 i had a few more but i forgot them, ill add more as i think about them, thanks for the help!
