Hi Daniel.

I contacted RCSUBS and have not heard back. All I am looking for is how to purchase the brass deck if I decide on this set over the wood deck. Any help on pricing and how to purchase from their site would be obliged.

Thank you.

Hello Alex, I send you a MP.
I cannot guide you with the covers of wood. Never use one. In the future when it end my U 530, I have in mind construct a type the IX using Oto's set.

Thank you very much for the comment of the Red Devil U 552 even not this one finished ..... jejejejjeje...... is common in my!!!

Cheers Daniel

Thanks Daniel.

I have e-mailed them twice with no reply. I know there's a language barrier yet I cannot find anything on their Web site indicating how to buy their items.

Be well.

Oto contacted me and the e-mail went into my SPAM folder and was deleted. My error. He contacted me again and we made the transaction this morning. Thanks. Alex

The brass set for the Revell IXC U-boat just arrived and all I can write is amazing. There is so much detail on the frets provided: two large frets with deck sections and conning tower sections, wintergarten...just so much. The brass is very thin so be careful when handling it (already have a section sitting in a vise to straighten it out). Oto Gerza provided some plastic to stiffen the underside of the brass deck which was kind of him. I am wondering if I might go one step further and use the deck provided with the kit yet invert it...sand it down just a tad and it could give the impression of the boat's pressure hull. Hmmmm. Have an awesome day. Be well. Alex
