That's pretty cool!
There are several other things on that list I find interesting, and all for pretty good prices.

A Type IX is way overdue and most welcome.
Must admit to smiling when I read the translation "The"type IX C"submarine appears in the version of"U-505""Tower III"." This boat was the only German submarine, launched from American ships in the second world war. "It is today, painstakingly restored, in a Chicago Museum."

Yes
But the german text is OK. I have and can recommend these books about U-505: (Of course, there are many other books about the U-Boat Type IX, but these books are exclusively about U-505.) - U-505 The final journey, J. Wise (Naval Insitute Press) - Die Jagd auf U-505 (english: Hunt and Kill), Theodor Savas - Steel Boat Iron Hearts, H. Goebeler, J. Vanzo + the great DVD - Attack and Capture: The Story of U-Boat 505. But I'll definitely build my lovely U-515, not the ill-fated and unfortunate U-505.

Big yes, but not a monster. That would be IXD2. Revell´s GATO 1/72 is bigger.

You didn't know? It's been out for years. Dan (Elanaiba), lead designer for SH4 and SH5, bought one for Neal at the end of the 2008 Subsim meeting in Houston.

That Ju-88 C-6 that's shown in the link looks good.

What's this then?
Could it be? Hell Yeah! Just one criticism (so far) the packaging could be better, unlike with the Type VII models the hull pieces were just sliding around the box. They weren't damaged, but I feel they could be, hopefully this is just an early release box and future hulls will be better supported. Jon |
