Revell U-Boat re-released

That's an inspired idea Bish - to practise weathering on an older, smaller, kit, before transferring to larger, newer (and more expensive) kit.  Hope you post some pictures!

Its a fraction over 36 inches long. I have had to stand it behind the TV as i don't have the room for it with the rest of the stash.

I agree about the weathering. I plan on getting hold of the smaller U-99 kit, i did build it years ago but it just got a basic paint job. This time i want to use it to get the paint and weathering right before i move onto the bigger one.

That's a huge kit!  I had one, er, twice (bought it new, sold it when needed the money, bought one second hand (the same one I think), but decided I'd rather build something else!  IIRC, it's over 3' long.  Of course, with a kit like that, it's the weathering that will really make it stand out.  Looking in it, I had decided to use the 'smear' method of weathering - dabs of oils at the top (near vents, etc), then 'pulled' down.  I saw this in a magazine, and looked amazing!

TD, sorry, i should have mentione dthat. The one they call the Atlantic version, no idea why as all Type VII's served in the atlantic, thats a VIIc/41. The kit just released is the earlier VIIc that Revell label as Wolf pack.

Which kit was re-released?

Weren't there originally two?

One kit was the Atlantic version I believe.

BTW,I love your av Bish.

have just picked mine up, and boy is it big. Considering the price, there not alot on the box, if you take away the hull. But its deffinatly worth it, i have been waiting years to get my hands on this. I plan on takeing my time with this build, doing a little at a time between other builds. I got the Eduard PE set as well which looks rather nice, and got a couple of other AM parts to go with it.

O, and it now comes with a set of Revell naval figures, so that will save me getting the CMK figures.

I don't think i would get a second one, just going to make sure i do a damn good job on this one.

I am definately not gonna screw around this time!

I'd like to grab two!

Ye, sorry, the 72nd one. I thought i would get my hands on one as soon as possable. Before the collectors and e-bayers get hold of them and put the price through the roof.

Yes it is the 72 scale kit.  I'll probably nab a few of these in case they get scarce again!

Is that the 72nd one??
