Flagman's German U-Boat VIIC/41 1:350 - by Tazmanian:

U-Boat type VII C/41 were latest and most perfect modification of famous VIIC which were mass produced. The main differences from the previous modifications were an increased thickness of a strong pressure hull makes them able to dive up to 250m depth, upgraded electrical equipment and intensive anti-aircraft waepons. Most of 91 U-Boats had a unit allows diesel engine operate underwater called "schnorkel". After war some of survivor U-Boats were delivered over to ex-enemies navy on account of reparation, including 3 U-Boats to Soviet Navy. This model represents one of the three.

Flagman's German U-Boat VIIC Special Version 1:350 - by Tazmanian:

To spring of 1943 the losses of the German submarines from attacks of anti-submarine aircrafts of Allies have reached critical level. It has compelled headquarter of Kriegsmarine to reinforce antiaircraft arms of boats and some of them re-equip into special boats of air defence. However fierce fights which have followed it in bay of Biscay have shown hopelessness of these decisions and by the end of 1943 the functioned boats of antiaircraft defence have received standard arms. In the end of 1944 some submarines of type VII C tried to use as carriers of midget submarines of type "Biber", but unsuccessfully.
