Ahoy submariners,

Found this photo of the MPM /Special future release of the Type II u-boat.....it looks like she will be a
real beauty.

Enjoy!

Ahoy Tom,

Cheers,

Very nice. My stash is itching for it.

Hi Every one

Joe thanks for the photo mate, looks like another one to go on my shopping list, can you recommend any good reference material for the Type II.

Question.

While looking at some photos taken at the Toy Fair in N/berg I noticed a Type XXIII with the Torpedo door open, the model looked to be a large scale, anyone know who is going to market that one, could it be a re-issue of the S/Navy XXIII with a few extras added, the Alanger (spelling ??) company logo was visable in the back ground if I recall correctly.

Yeap!

That one I spoted when Mark "Gunny" posted the Nuremberg photos link

As for the Alanger models, from my understanding they are only producing 1/350 soviet/russian modern subs.... Could be the proximity of stands????

Skipper

Thanks Joe.
Got it now.
Tom

Ahoy all,

It seems after further reading that the Type II we see in this diorama is by
a company called Artmaster and not Special Navy.

Here is the Special Navy release:

The hull seems to be much more detailed and if this is how it will be delivered, with the vents all opened
up, I am sure many modelers will greatly appreciate this!
