Not sure where this overlaps my existing PE for the boat, but worth checking out.

I have been semi-looking Bill as I had the same question. I have the Eduard and Modelbrass sets as each one had something to offer ...I have the AMP set too (damn I have a bunch of crap for that kit I never finished...LOL!!) Anyway, I like the looks of the interior wall planks over the Eduard. Also, the floor plating looks to be an insert on the Uschi while the Modelbrass is a full replacement of the kit part....tough call. I might have to pick up one of Uschi's and compare them all...LOL!

This set was made by SRS, but marketed/sold through Uschi. SRS has been posting progress pictures of their items on their Facebook page; I have some for the Type IXC. He makes really great stuff for a few boats (1/72 Type VIIC and IXC, as well as a TON of stuff for the 1/40 Robbe RC boat).

Thanks Glenn! I mentioned SRS in the promo. Pete Hamann has does a fantastic job with this and other stuff. I spoke with Alex from Uschi on the phone this morning. As you would figure, he is very excited for these new developments and like us, look forward to seeing more coming soon! Uschi van der Rosten has always exceeded my expectations with quality, pricing and shipping. Great to see they are expanding the line!
