    Found this, very sad

    I saw this posted on another site from the now running Nuremberg Toy Fair.
    It is the new Trumpter 1/48 Type 7 kit.
    Looks like it will be a cutaway model. Which is great for the static display guys.
    But not so much the RC guys.
    This may or may not be a fact but just wanted to post this.
    Now I will retire to my corner and sulk. BDClick image for larger version Name: image.jpg Views: 1 Size: 15.4 KB ID: 136602

    Bummer......
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

      I can't see it being exceptionally hard to cut out the internal bulkheads to accept a cylinder. The bad thing is the associated costs with all of the unneeded internal details. Looking forward to this one!

        I do not think removing the internals is the issue, is there a side of the sub not included? That would be the bummer.

          even if you buy this as the "visible" static display model... the internals on this, while better than the 1/125 revell type VII, are still very inaccurate.
