Just to show the size of this Mamouth kit, here are some pic's of my Revell Germany 1/72 U-boat compared to my 1/200 Nichimo IXC U-boat. The Revell kit is one big chunk of plastic, 36 1/2 inches long!
These are in progress for the DDD campaign.





Like I said, Jumbo! And a blast to build.

Campaigns still open mates, your welcome to join in!

Cheers,

Garry

It's huge indeed.....

I'll make a similair pic of my VIIC next to my 1:700 oscar class once I have the VIIC :-)

I'll see your type VII with a type XXI :-)

That's not fair Salt6 :-)

Skipper

My boats bigger then your boat!



LOL! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Sorry, I could not resist!

Garry

Skipper

I'll see your Type VIIC with a Type VIIC-41!!! I converted the Amati kit several years ago...

Very nice conversion Jeff ! I am not familiar with the Amati kit, is it also a 1/72 kit? Well done!

Garry

Gary, WOW, I see you had to register it as a full size boat.

Bet ya if mine goes under the water it comes back up.

you know Nautilas has a wintergarten conning tower conversion. I think it costs more than the origianl kit

LOL, its not my ship Steve. I have had this pic on my pc for a long time and just decided to post it for fun. besides, Im much better looking .

Cheers,

Garry

What is going on in this thread!!! Some huge "things" we see!!! This is a ship modelling forum, not a real ship construction forum!

Wow huge they are... You ought to have a real port or something for them!

Regards...

Cagin.

Garry, I could not hold myself and I wish to ask one thing:

Did this ship help you to become a moderator? You attacked the shores of Armorama with your bombardier? :-)

Just kidding, Garry, just for fun. I HAD TO say something about that ship, I could not help myself... It will ruin my dreams tonight, thank you, it is E N O R M O U S ! ! !

Regards.
Cagin.

Garry,

The Amati kit was carred by Model Expo for years...it's 1/72, but an expensive bear of a kit to build...

I still have it, which is why I'll be doing my RoG VIIC as an early one.

Jeff

I am considering a late entry into this campaign. Soooo.... are the 1/125th U Boats by Revell any good? Especially the cutaway ones?

Hi Guys; i just found this site

I now offer the 1/72nd set for the Revell UBoat
I have filled the gap left after Hiro folded his operations my set includes the 2 propeller shafts (which he never offered) the 88mm gun 20mm gun and the 2 periscopes
Mr Jeff Hern knows my stuff from the MW forums
Here is a link to my website for other barrel offerings
link
and for a photo

I have an alt email if you have problems with my primary one
[email protected]

Yes yes yes...Steve is a stand-up guy providing some incredible stuff...just to give you an idea...

I have a lathe, and I'm pretty good with it, but it's not worth my time and aggravation to do my own parts!!

If you really want barrels and scopes and prop shafts that are top notch, get 'em from Steve. You also should see his barrel sets for some of his other kits, like the Nichimo 200th scale Yamato...

No, he's not paying me, and no, I don't owe him any favors ('cept maybe a beer or two)...nor do I have any vested interest in his company...just passing on the word that he's a quality vendor!! If you want this type of stuff, order it from him. You got my word on it!

Jeff

Hi Jeff; thanks

I was thinking to try to get more done on my Yamato this week i have it off; Bill Waldorf is pushing me to complete the stern section; then all 18ft will be there

I know I've recommended Steve's work to more than one of our folks here. As soon as the dust settles a bit from the holidays I plan to pick up the 88mm and 20mm for sure and probably the periscopes as I am starting work on my RG Type Viic kit. Oh and welcome aboard our site. While we are 99 % tanks here, there is a building force of ship lovers here and with both Steve and Jeff contributing info we could definitely expand interest here.

Absolutely Steve...I may be obnoxious at times, well, ok, most of the time ...BUT, I do have a rather large naval library, and I'm always willing to give back to the hobby by helping out however I can.

Jeff

In fact...once this U-boat group build is done, methinks we should jump into a Fletcher build...any takers??

Jeff

Gary, while I was looking for things that I could use on my ship, I just happen to see something that they had for your sub, now I don't know if you would be interested, or if anybody else would, but L'Arsenal has decals for your sub the Revell 1/72 Uboot.

They say each set has 16 individual insignias, and a comprehensive instruction notice that also gives 6 different camouflage patterns each. The set sells for 10.00 for EEC customers, and 8.36 for non EEC modelers, postage has to be added in in both cases.

You can find this on their site.

By the way that is in Euros if anybody is interested.
Kerry

Thanks for the heads up on that Kerry! I'll check them out. I was wondering about AM decals.

Thanks mate!

Garry

Hi Garry and Kerry...

There's also Ulad decals - they have been around for awile, though!
