Here are some images of Revell's 1/72 scale TYP VII C U Boot. I decided to build my U Boat with a nice rusty appearance. I think it gives it a meaner look. I believe this kit to be a more recent release in the past couple of years or so (correct me if I'm wrong). So why then with todays technology did they design a kit with raised panel lines. Dear Revell, Stop it already!! Other then that this is a big nicely detailed kit and went together without any problems. Although the Amati 1/72 scale TYP VII U boat is most likely the better kit and 3 times the price, that's even if you can find one. At $100 Cdn the Revell kit makes a great economical alternative.
The Great Canadian Model is my favorite miniature, Where did you buy this wonderful submarine ?
ReplyDeleteThe kit is quite widely available at ant hobby store or through order.

I built this kit around 2001. I'm pretty sure it had been around for at least a couple of years. There's probably a dated copyright on the packaging somewhere.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the uk. i have just been admiring your U-boat, very nice indeed, i have to remind myself this is a model, it looks very real. very impressive. i have one of these models also, but it's nothing like as good as this. top quality. nice job sir.
