U-Models has always been on the forefront of large scale naval accessories. And when I say large scale, we’re talking big, 1/35 scale big. Their latest upcoming releases are no different.
First up is their 1/35 LCVP aftermarket set. This set let’s the modeler turn the utilitarian landing craft into a heavily armed gunboat complete with a reinforced canvas canopy

The second kit is for all of those modelers looking for a way to display their 1/35 German Biber submarine, a transport trailer. Get your Biber ready for deployment with this resin kit.

This is all information we have on the products above. We will update this release when more information becomes available.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on MODEL SHIPWRIGHTS.

Hi Kenny, Thanks for the heads up. The trailer and conversion for the LCVP look interesting. Al

The Biber trailer looks really excellent. I feel another Biber diorama coming on, (haven't built the first one yet) what sort of vehicle would have pulled it? research time. Si

A British 3 Tonner towing it back to England I email U models about price Si, like you I like the look of the trailer and the LCVP conversion might make a fun build for the other LCVP I have awaiting build. Also becasue I wanted to get some accessories but no reply yet. Is anyone in contact with them? I tried several months ago to place an order by my emails got ignored so I don't know if I'll have any better luck this time. Cheers Al

Hello Alan, I ordered two of U-models depth charge sets from Blast Models. You might try getting in touch with them. They might already know the prices, or be able to help. Al

Hi Al, Tried the other suppliers but they are not stocking or are out of what I wanted. Still no response from U models! Al

Hi Kenny, I saw some Indo-China French Sailors by U Models on one of their Distributors sites, must be to go with the LCVP conversion. Interesting looking figuers, but I don't see them on U Models site which is odd. It would appear their figure range has grown considerable. Al

Hi Al, I sent another email to U Models yesterday to see if I can get the accesories I'm after so I'll wait out on that for a week or so. Tried the various distributors but they either don't have or are out of stock of the bits I'd like. Alan

Rodolphe has been away for the last couple of months at various shows and closed for stock-taking, hence the lack of response to my initial enquiry. Back up and running now though. Al
