This was in my Revell news letter today.
U-Boot VII C #8211; What's new?
Interest in the end-of-the-year highlight has been huge. And huge is perhaps the right word to describe everything to do with this model kit. The prototypes that were on display over the last few weeks at various trade fairs, for example, gave a really good impression of the enormous dimensions and extreme accuracy of detail they make possible.
After the U-Boot was unfortunately forced to submerge to get ready for delivery in November, and only surfaced in the product development department before going off to sea one last time, the final touches are now being added to the finest details. Our specialists continue to work full steam ahead on every "minor item" to ensure the model kit ultimately meets the high standards model fans have come to expect from REVELL. The VII C will then presumably be launched in December. This superlative model will hopefully then find a safe haven with all modelling fans for those long, dark winter evenings and for the holiday period around Christmas and the New Year.
And in this case, we can be absolutely sure: it has been well worth waiting for !!!
There you go! .....maybe Xmas for some of Europe but NOT us in the U.S.
Straighten up and fly right.....
