Thank you, Charlieboat, I really appreciate all that info. I've filed it away for future reference, and general daydreaming.

 Now, just to be a complete-pain-in-the-butt, any word on details, interiors, etc., for the Gato?

   I just got the latest CMK release.
   This kit is labeled "U-Boot VII C, Officer's Ward rooms a& Galley", the Americans refer to it as the "Forward Battery".
   However, the picture on the box, the directions, and the parts, all agree, it's actually the "After Battery". The AotS calls it the "Engineers and Senior Rates Mess".
   The only problem, that I can see, would be, if you cut the opening in the hull before receiving the kit, it'll be in the wrong place. The instructions show the correct place.
   On the positive side, this error could only occur if CMK is working on the "Forward Battery". Hooorah!! And that's how I've chosen to interpret the error.
   Something else points to this conclusion, as well. The part number.
   The Command Section (Control Room) is Number 72001. the Torpedo Room (Tubes Forward) is Number 72002 and the Engine Room is Number 72003. This kit is Number 72005. Where's Number 72004??? It's gotta be the Forward battery or the After Torpedo Room!!! I have to bet on the Forward Battery, though. It's more likely.
