I finally finished this Old Revell Type VIIB.  I got the kit awhile back but bought the WEM conversion kit that converts it to a B type but I cannot say I am thrilled with thier Resin conning tower though,  Lots of pin holes and the placement of the attack scope and ariel view scope are wrong as well as the hatch being just a tad too small for the crew!  But the Photo etch is really nice and if I have a suggestion just use the Photo etch you get the conning tower rails and gun details.  I weathered it after the U-100 which only served 10 months from completion tio her sinking but sunk 25 ships!!  Let me know what you all think??
 


The rest can be seen in my gallery so have a look ant let me know what you all think??

I think it came out looking pretty nice! Despite the problems you had with the CT, it would seem that you cleaned it up in good shape. I really like the anti-aircraft gun, was that part of the PE set?
Yeah , I do like it!
Oh! did you paint the bull or was it a decal? If it's a decal where did you find it?
Looks great!

Thanks !  The  AA gun come as part of the resin set  and has a Photo-etch Shoulder brace but the rest had to be scratch built.  As for the 7th Flotille "Bull" I had to hand paint it as I could not find a decal for it, I got the Bull from the U-Boat Net  site under the Insignia section.
