First day of 2013, and now so great news! Revell will issue famous U-Boat type IX 1/72!

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."

Sepp von Ch. · 01-01-13, 05:04 PM

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.

Awesome!
This thing'll be a monster!

Sepp von Ch. · 01-01-13, 05:22 PM

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.

captgeo · 01-02-13, 06:57 PM

If they ever come out with a 1/72 scale IXD2.....I will be lined up at a store waiting for it....

Looks nice indeed but I first need to build the VIIC kit. Does anyone know if there are plans for photo-etch,update sets for this new kit?

I think it's reasonably safe to say that there will be plenty of detail sets for any new kit of this nature. It's just a matter of when.

Oh, and WELCOME ABOARD!

Are these the first add-ons designed for the Revell Type IXC

Hecker & Goros Submarine Crews in the Indian Ocean for U-boat Type IX for Revell sets I and II

Damn, must learn to stop drooling on the keyboard.
