I just got the Mirage 1/400 scale Type IX C model of U-176. Inside the box, however, was the U-803 kit.. The two appear to be very different. Does anyone have the instruction sheet for U-803 that they could scan and e-mail me. It would be greatly appreciated......Thanks in advance for any help in this....Bill G

Hello Bill,
Check your e-mail....your instructions for U-803 should have just arrived.

I thnk all those Uboat kits are pretty much alke..variations btwn the types some have a few goodies. You can build a real nice collection of scale Uboots for just a few dollars. I think I've got 8 and I paid less than $50 for all that. They build out nice. I add a little PE railing to them that I have left over from big kits

Hello Steve,

Indeed great little kits ....picked up a few myself for a little diorama....
U-boat vs T2 tanker. I hear Mirage makes some PE for extra detail; would
come in very handy in 1:400 scale. I love scratchbuilding but I do not
own a microscope yet.... :-)

Talk to you later...
Joe
