Thats very good news, and a first time the II comes in 1:144.

I like they have choosen the more numerous "B" compared witht he 1:72 "A" - it gives much more variation, including some of the boats sendt overland to the black see.

The CADs looks ok, but it will be nice to see it in real.

So with ICM doing a II and XXIII, trumpeter doing the XXIII too and Revell doing the VII and XXI - we only are only missing the IX in 1:144 ?

Cheers/jan

Looks like this will be a great little kit. Whilst I enjoy the 1/72nd scale u boats, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion 1/144th is a far more practical scale for them.
