Revell U-Boat re-released

someone else, i think in planes a while back, mentioned he will get a 1/72 to practice on before building a 1/32.

mic, I take it the re-release hasn't hit your shores yet. But seems like your got a pretty good deal, despite what you have to fix. I hope your going to share some pics. Are you planning on getting any Am goodies for it.

I just got the Revell U-99 kit yesterday, thought I would do that first to practice painting and weathering. There’s a bit of a difference in size between these two.

Hannants currently have the Gato of special offer, just over £47. I'm not sure what the normal price is, but that not bad when you consider how much bigger it is than the U-Boat.

I just want to make sure i do a good job on painting the 72nd kit, and the only ships i have done was a long time ago and pretty basic when it came to painting. And beshides, i have aces equipment when it comes to planes and tanks, so i thought i would add the top U-Boat ace to the collection.

Hey Bish, yeah I'm going the full boat on this kit with PE, detail set,  and possibly a wood deck. I'm more of a WW I guy as I am very interested in ships military and commerce 1870-1920. The Germans really took submerines to their fullest potential in the early years 1900-1940 as far as implementing them in an effective naval strategy. Out of all types and configurations the type VII is the most succesful. This will be a centerpeice along with WW I U-Boats and WW I Dreadnoughts. We'll see.

Will deffinatly look forward to seeing it. What other detail sets are you adding. I checked out the White Ensign PE set and don't think it will be worth it with the eduard as well, so i am just sticking to the eduard PE and wooden decks.

Not to get off topic too much but where did you get that display (El Tanio)? Any details would be excellent. I am looking for more options as my first cabinet is full, lol!!

If you haven't seen it yet you might want to look at Siara's build over on Subsim.

thanks for that Division. I haven't heard of that site. Will have to have a prper read of that.

I just got my Squadron catalog today and the 1/72 U-Boat is finally in it!

They reached the UK stores at the start of Oct. Is that the usual time you ahve to wait for RoG kits.

I don't know.Some times it seems to take a while.The Republic Star Destroyer took quite some time if I remember correctly.
