Why not go for the 1:32 full U-boat kit,lol. I forget who it's made by but the price is in excess of $2,000.

Peter, that is the Andrea one ... Personally I prefer the Revell one. It's a little easier to put in the house...Jim

Hi all!

All that I can say is that those three subs are all excellent!
Since the beginning of the DDD Campaign talk, I have started to make the X-craft (sorry but I couldn't resist).
And you don't need to win the lottery: I have bought the Type XXIII on ebay much cheaper; The Type VII C was bought to a modeler who (fortunatly for me!!) changed modeling scope to armour - these were good deals!!
The X-Craft was bought directly to AA.

I am also looking forward to one of their future releases: a Ko-Hyouteki from the Pearl Harbour attack - it's on their Future releases for more than a year!!

Perhaps next year?

Skipper
