As some of you may have read....I was trying to place an order with Dream Arts for some upgrades to the Robbe U 47.....I have seen what guys like Castor3 and Eddie Boote have done with this kit and thought I would give it a go.....I attempted to place an order with what I thought was Dream Arts for the Turm Typ VIIC "Umbau IV" and the U-Boot Deck Typ VII/C "Mittlere Ausführung" that goes along with it....Unfortunately I didnt get a response initially and after a few emails finally got one in German. Now, please understand I realize this is a German company and I dont expect special treatment...but after several attempts at trying to get a reply in english, I was referred to a gentleman who was friends with the owner of Dream Arts.....well this is what I have learned.........It seems that the company and all its molds were bought by a certain Morgan Stadler for a very fair price.......he bought out his partner...a certain Andreas Mock.....well it seems that the molds were also sold to another individual by the name of Andreas Ehrlich.....without the knowledge of Morgan......so now, having paid good money for the rights to the molds ....does not have the sole rights to these it seems.....and under German law it appears has no recourse...........and it seems that Mr Stadlers website was hijacked and he is in the process of trying to get it back on line....so, for what its worth.....I guess I will wait and see what transpires here....I for one hope Herr Stadler is able to claim what is rightfully his......

That is a real shame.

That is a real shame.
I bought the Type VIIC/41 conning tower and decks from Dream Arts a while ago and found the original owners quite helpful. A little slow on communication, but helpful none the less.
I hope you find a similar item for your Robbe.
