As a U boat devotee I am VERY excited to see the thought and research put into upgrade sets such as this. While manufacturers will always make mistakes(no offense,guys) its the aftermarket fellas that come in and "tidy up". Im gratified to see the attention to historical accuracy.We truly are in the golden age of modelling

Hi Tom!
I spoke with Wink Grise a short time back and he stated that they are still in the process of perfecting the upgrades, mate...this is one of the benefits of AMP products, which is that they aren't satisfied unless it's 100%, in both quality and accuracy, and won't offer the upgrades until such is achieved....so we gotta wait, my friend!
Cheers,
~Gunny

Is there any word out on if Special Navy will release other variants of the Type II?
I want to build a IID.

At one point on Micksters site, there was a B and a waterline B from CMK listed, but after the site/shop was redone its gone, so it all boils down to rumours.
But a "B" would be nice, event if it won“t be impossible to convert a "A", a little different turret, a longer hull, guess the deck would be the most demanding part.
