I was just wondering -- for all of you ship fans out there -- I just bought the Revell 1/72 U-Boat at Hobby Lobby, and was wondering what you all would reccomend as the best PE set for it. Any help would be great!!

Hi
Its a great kit isn't it. I just bought ("invested") it myself.
I see no one has answered your request. There are many people out there with this kit and experience.
Check out Winks site he has a lot of information.

Hi Douglas
First of all - welcome to the "Dark Side" - once you're in, you'll never get out
I would reccomend the WEM PE set - it's great
We will have a DDD2 campaign next year - would you consider waiting until then for your built?

Hi Skipper
Could you clarify what the acronym "WEM" stands for as regards a Company or Product so I may hunt down a set on the Internet.
Please excuse my ignorance on this matter as I also new to the Dark Side.

WEM stands for White Ensign Models and PE is for photo etch, usually (but not always) brass

The dark side huh? Thank you for your responses. The reason I ask about the PE, is because one set is so blasted expensive!! But I do appreciate the help, as I want to stock up on the AM stuff now, as I am not sure exactly when I will build the kit. I think the problem right now is really a space issue -- go figure But perhaps, we will see
