Question about Type IXC U-boat
Posted by Egon060 on Friday, October 1, 2010 2:17 PM

Hey everyone,

 Having grown up around the Gulf of Mexico and just recently getting back into the modeling swing, I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for a Type IXC kit that would be a good build for an average skilled person.

 I have usually built made planes and autos but I wanted to do a build of U-166, which was the only U-boat sunk in the Gulf. I am planning a series of builds to learn about, and hopefully teach others about U-Boat and general war time activity in the area where i grew up.

thanks for any help

 

Egon

Skimming a few on line sites I only found 4 models of the IXC class, 2 of them by Hobby Boss (1/350 - 1/700) 1 by Easy Model (1/700) and 1 by Nichimo (1/200)
