Great job! I've got so many kits to build I've got to get back to it! U-Boats rock! Thx for posting pix.

Thanks.This kit is lacking in detail,so I figured I'd go ballistic and get in some serious practice on weathering.

But, it is the only Type VII that shows the forward-slanting edge to the aft end of the sail. That was a characteristic of some Type VII-B's, but not all. It is correct for U-99.

So does that mean we can expect a big brother U-Boat some time soon?

If you mean the 72nd VIIc, it was re released last year, with a set of Revell figures.

Now that GATO is big. I can't recall who it was, but just after i got the 72nd U-Boat, someone posted pics of a completed GATO next to a VIIc. If i hadn't had my kit next to me, i would have thought it was tiny. The GATO dwarfed it.

You wanna talk about big? There is a guy on another forum building a 1/72 German cruiser.

Some people are just mad.

Wasn't there an article in the mag a few years ago with a 72nd Carrier, i am sure it was the Enterprise.
