Hello everyone!
I've never built a ship/sub, but thought it was about time I should start. I picked up a Revell 1/72 VIIc U-Boat off E-Bay- it is enroute. I have a number of questions to anyone who has built it. There are alot of AM kits. I ordered the Eduard PE set, but there are also 2 PE sets from White Ensign. I have found pics of the Eduard set on the model, but not the other two- is there much overlap and any benefit in getting one of the other PE sets? There is also the wooden deck. I believe the kit deck is solid, and the slots are not all the way through, but the wooden deck has completey drilled slots. If I went with the wooden deck, would I also need to fabricate the pressure hull, and would it even be visible through the slots on this scale? I believe the side vents(?) are also not completely open, and if opened, should the pressure hull structure normally be easily visible? Has anyone added the engine room/command room etc? I've added resin interiors to tanks, and they were a struggle at times. How well do these kits fit?
Lots of questions, I know, but I'm new to this branch of modelling.
Thanks!
Rob
