Hi there, experts please chime in.

I'm looking to build a 1/350 Type VIIC. I'd like to know the best cost-quality kit, ideally something with good availability of PE and junk. I'm an aircraft modeler, I've always been driven to madness by my previous ship building efforts.

But I really want a Type VII to call my own. Please advise.

In 1:350 you canīt go wrong with the AFV Club offerings - you get etch for the railing.

Flagmann allso does a fair VII but without railing on the deck.

I dont know Revells - but I have only praise for the AFV kits.

Cheers/Jan

Ahoy Richard,

Revell has an excellent kit in 1:350th. Lots of surface detail and not much to
add on, but if you wish, they also make a dedicated etch for this VII C.

Price of this sub is also half of the other offerings.

Cheers,
Joe
