      ....well, if Revell is looking to "do it right", this new kit would need to have the hull modified to include the Atlantik bow. Not something I'd prefer to see as an aftermarket item!

        does the C/41 have a schnorkel well and schnorkel, as well as the exterior plumbing?

        That would be a major change to the deck alone.

          Obviously the original Type VIIc

          [color=#000000]Obviously the original Type VIIc was a big seller. This is good, very, very good. Hopefully they continue pumping out 1]

            Sam,

            Some VIIC/41's had schnorkels.......it would seem to be an almost "must have" in this new kit.

                  [color=#000000]Those figures have been released a long time ago. IMHO they are not at same level as the Type VII The poses are very limited and there is no way to make a full watch]

                      Pablo, So they are not

                      Pablo, So they are not very good? I didn't see them at the model show I went to either. Maybe it's a good thing then.

                      Tabledancer, what scale are those Andreas figures?

                        The detail is good but poses are very limited (limited to stand up position and in many cases touching their groins...). Of course, with 9-12u$s you get 50 u-boot and s-boot crews instead of 3 or 4 for 6u$s in resin...

                        Have a look at them]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/Gerwalker/revellfigs1.jpg[/img]

                            Well, you see......you take a length of yellow monofiliment fishing line and glue one end of it to where his hands are and you place the painted figure on the Wintergarten facing downwind.........

                            And some say that adding figures to our models can't bring the scene to life!

                              Hmm, I see what you mean. A bit same-ey.

                              I Found some other 1/72 scale U-boat crew which look interesting, along with lots of other nice looking add-on's.
