interior U-boot 1/72 revell kits help
Posted by flaver on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 8:33 AM

I am finally getting around to building the interiors from CMK, however I am just wondering if

anyone knows of a conning tower interior set from any manufacturer, also I have checked CMK's site and want to make sure there are no other interior sets than these listed, by cmk or anyone else

 

U-boot VII Command section

U-boot VII Torpedo section

U-boot VII Engine section

Officers Ward Room and Galley

 Cheers!

I'm afraid, that's about it. I could live without the conning tower, but I'm still waiting patiently for the Forward Battery and After Torpedo Room/Motor Room kits, from CMK.

I haven't got a clue. But, as the saying goes "Hope springs eternal." Maybe....someday....

If you're talking about the Conning Tower, you're probably right. I'm still hoping (and waiting ) for the other two. I thought about doing the Conn, but the information is so sketchy,  I stopped with the basic, exterior shape.

Good Luck.

Ditto...I too wonder why CMK left the interior sets off at the engine room. But I have a pretty good ideal when they will release them, right after I glue the hull together.

haha,

 I emailed CMK last week and still no reply.

 I have also been looking for some schematics / cross section drawing everywhere, in my books and all over the net. I finally ordered something which I imagine is going to be a cd of pictures of the U-995 in Laboe Germany which I have been to myself, cost me 19 US which is'nt so bad since the CND dollar is higher :)

I refuse to glue this together until it is complete, I am going to set it aside for now, getting a bunch of finemolds sci-fi stuff this week from my wife for my birthday, god i love her! Once those are done I guess I will start scratchbuilding.

I finally heard back from CMK yesterday this is what they said;

 "Hello,

We are not preparing any further sets for U-boot in about a year.
 
Regards
CMK"
 
So there we have it.
 
Not exaclty sure what they mean but as far as I can figure out there is nothing coming right now.
