Hi all,

I am building the Special Hobby 1/72 Type XXIII U-Boat and as this is my first ever sub I was wondering if you guys could give me a little help.



The box artwork is pretty good but I'm not sure it's totally accurate and I'd like to know how much of a beating these boats would have taken given they were coastal subs.

Any other hints or advice on this kit would be really appreciated.

Check out Rui's (Skipper) Type XXIII, his accuracy is very reliable and I would suspect he'll have more information to offer you tomorrow.
