AFV Club 1/350 Type XXI U-Boat

QUOTE: Originally posted by darson Hi there, has anybody built or knows anything of the AFV Club 1/350 Type XXI U-boat. If you could give me your comments on the kit (quality, accuracy, details, etc, etc...) I would really appreciate it. I saw one in the LHS today and thought it might be good for next years Battle of the North Atlantic group build.

It builds decently but you have to watch cleaning up some parts as they're delicate. The worst defect was sink marks on the tops of the two flak turrets that took a whole 5 minutes to fix. The radar antenna is a bit clunky but everything else is decent. Total build time was about 10 hours and the result took best OOB at Region II last year.
