I got one from warshipguy just the other day. The price wasn't too bad, either. I saw a couple on ebay but I haven't checked lately to see what they're up to pricewise. Warshipguy still had an Amati type VII-B and he might have a Gato, just in case anyone's interested. And thanks for all the help with this, guys. My grandfather served on the U-52 so I've wanted to build this particular kit for quite some time. When I get ready to start building it I'll probably do a post to see if anyone has any suggestions for backdating the VII-C to a VII-B.

According to the Hannants site it is being re-released

Just found one on E-bay UK, so i might get that depending on how high it goes. Other wise i think i will be getting this from hannants.

Revell will probably re-release them again. That Atlantic version is a beauty. It was also released in 1/144 scale but Griffon has not done a detail set for it. Their detail set for the Type VII/C is fantastic.

I've got several   in my Ebay store: Citadel International Hobbies

I got mine a couple of weeks ago on E-Bay. There was a whole run of these for about two weeks. What I want to get is a 1/72 Corvette- now those are harder to find.

Got one in the basement I picked up at Hobby Lobby on clearance for 40 bucks. Was hoping the Gato would eventually make it clearance but it never did. Good luck!!

Also saw 'em on sale at Hobby Lobby, but didn't buy.

Hobby Lobby is occasionally a good place to buy kits.

Especially the gigantic kits.

I must admit that I seriously regret not buying at least one of those Revell u-boats when I had the chance.

Keep an eye over on Hyperscale, they pop up every couple of months sometimes several the same week.

I'm still kicking myself for not getting the U-Boat and Gato together for $100 last year that someone had offered, i passed on it since i already had a Gato.

ICM have a IXC due out, but not sure when.

I don't believe that anyone has released a 1/144 scale Type IX . . . but here is to wishing!

I bought a couple several months back and they were NOT east to find---especially the c/41 Atlantic and type IX...try Amazon...

 

The Type IX in 1:72 scale should be damn near impossible to find as Revell never made one.

i have been trying to find one of these for a while now. The /41 shows up on E-Bay now and again, but i am after the earlier one. Hopefully Revell will bring it out again soon.

Ebay !! and be prepared to pay from $100 to sometimes $200 with PE sets included.

I am waiting for another re-release of their U Boat. I already have one built but I'd like another one and I'm not willing to pay premium for it. I've seen worse and older kits floating around, gathering dust and warming up the shelves. I have yet to understand why these are issued in small numbers when there is clearly interest in them.
