Wow, that buildup does look good! The early Type IX boats with their smaller towers were the most attractive versions of the type, IMHO.

Additional to the 1:72 Type IXC (Early), REVELL has announced the re release of their
1:72 Type VIIC/41 in a PREMIUM EDITION with wood deck, PE and metal gun barrels.

Also a late war PT boat in 1:72 scale and the re release of their S100 Schnellboot in 1:72 scale.

All excellent news!

Cheers,
