I'm building the Academy Type IXB right now (kind of a crummy kit...only 1 propeller!? U-boats had 2 screws!

). If it turns out well, I'll post pics.

I'm getting back into modelling for the first in about 15 years, and so I figured that'd be a nice inexpensive kit to get my feet wet with before I try tackling the Revell Type VII.

I've got the book "Type VII U-Boats: Shipcraft" by Roger Chesneau on order from Amazon and it's yet to arrive. Does anyone else have this one? If so, how is it?
