                        The photo's looks good! What was you lower hull color?
                        As far as the eduard detail set for this version goes, one could take it or leave it. The sets for the earlier VII-C looks more comprehensive as you can get the full decking for the sub.

                        Looks outstanding! I got one in progress on the table but not painted yet, I'm using the eduard detail set which is slowing me down a bit.

                        Actually, I just watched U-571 again this evening & I was thinkin' about your sub when they were
                        surfacing. All that water coming off the sail & pouring out all them holes. Man, there was alot of rust
                        streaks!!Shock [:O]
                        I think you oughtta run a google search for U-571 and check it out.   You've got the right idea goingApprove [^]
