Special Hobby have sent us details of a really interesting new release on the way in their Special Navy range - a 1:72 Finnish submarine.
CV 707 Vesikko ‘WWII Finnish U-Boat’
Built in Finland, Vesikko was in fact a prototype of the German Type II submarine class. Vesikko, also known by her manufacturing code CV707 was put to service with the Finnish Navy in 1936 and went on to serve until 1944. She took part in both the Winter and Continuation Wars and in 1959, she became a permanent exhibit in Suomenlinna fortress and is displayed there ever since.

Accurate and detail-oozing model
Photo etches, resin parts and metal periscopes included in the kit
Various colour schemes illustrating the submarine’s long service career which spanned from 1936 till 1944

Nice unusual subject, I will most definitely having one of these, I have been lucky enough to have seen the real thing, albeit from the water, but got some great photos. Had planned to rework the ICM 1/144th, but this is a way better option. Cheers Si
