Gimme Shelter Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi I saw this for the first time on the shelves at the Abingdon IPMS show last Saturday and was very tempted. I've not built my other Revell 1/72 U-552 U Boat. I wasn't sure how to get in the house without the memsaab noticing and moaning so I'll save my pennies for another day John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon John you know you want to, a type IX would go lovely alongside a type VII. Just have a look at the type IX walkaround just posted, picks from Panzer.

Chris Hi Chris How cool - colour instructions - takes me back to when the papers first issued their colour Sunday supplements for the first time - my oh my how the human race continues to advance itself - kits with colour assembly guides... it only took us till the 21st century to think of it ! I'm going to have a crack at this monster once my other 1/72 U-Boat is done - by which time all the 3rd party parts will no doubt be available. I'm not overly fussed about how good or bad the kit is as I am not a fanatic on subs John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
