Revell VIIC
Just purchased the kit on EBay to go along with my 1-72 US Fleet Sub. Was checking on aftermarket parts...photoetched.....and doing general research before beginning. The Eduard parts look great. There are also photoetched parts at whiteensignmodels.com and some nice photos of a completed model at hsgalleries.com.

Nice one (again) on the photo Chock,
One thing i did notice in the photo and you have to look quite hard to spot it...... that anchor!!.......I think Revell got this part of the boat very wrong indeed, the one in my kit is tiny!!!:rotfl: Sav. |

I doubt that's the intended anchor for the sub, it's probably one just for the launch. I looks a bit big for a sub.

What a day!....first i nearly lost my job , and now on the return from work i find the parcel from the states. Did not have to check what it was - i knew it was box with my parts!
So now we off and running. Presure hull by Yankee Modelworks , barells and peryscopes by Shatton Modelbau , figures by Warriors , and the most important of all etch set by White Ensign. Pressure hull Etch Crew Barrels TBC... Last edited by Siara; 11-13-07 at 01:30 PM. |

I just received the email from Wojtek regarding the photo- etched insulators, and they are done!
He has sent the insulators today, and showed me the picture of the test fitting: The spaces between the line grooves will be filled with Magic Sculp, or Green Stuff. You like? |

Unfortunately i wasnt as good solderer as i thought i was, and i had to ditch the PE insulators. Instead i used the medium called Green Stuff.
Good thing it has the right color, and theres no need for paint. |

63 pages and it's still not done ?! wow! i just stumbled upon this topic of yours now, and even though i'm no model genius, i have to say this is the greatest and most detailed u-boat model i've seen and will probably see in my life Siara, congratulations seriously, and wish i had the money to buy one of these, or at least make one myself, seriously can't wait for it to be finished and hope you'll show us some pictures of the finished model. true beauty!
