I like the idea of using this kit in a surface engagement between U boat and Corvette. I heard one story where the Corvette crew had run out of ammo for their oerlikons and the Germans on the deck of the U boat were preparing their gun. The Corvette crew pelted them with empty coke bottles!.... A good freind of mine is the son of a bridge officer from the HMCS Snowberry ....Ill get this to make him a diorama..

Choices choices choices. We now have 3 of the basic Type VIIc's. Bronco, Flagman, and now Revell. I know someone also has a Type IXb out as well. I think it is AFV. I have the old Type XXI kit that AFV put out yaers ago and have really hoped for these to come out in 350. Oh yea they also have an S100 out so maybe we can get a kit form of an Elco and a Vosper to add to the boat section of our 350 scale offerings. It's great to be a collector and builder of 350 scale ships !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to think 10 years ago all we had were the big 5 and variations that Tamiya put out.
