sub-builder Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 This kit wasn't quite at the same standard as the other Revell kits i've had the pleasure of building. The hull seemed a bit bare and some parts seemed a little out of proportion. However after etching some of the major hull plates on I am happy with the result. The German submarine U-47 was a Type VIIB U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.[2]She was laid down on 25 February 1937 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel as yard number 582 and went into service on 17 December 1938 under the command of Günther Prien. During U-47 's career, she sank a total of 31 enemy vessels and damaged eight more.[5] She is also noted for the sinking of the British battleship HMS Royal Oak on 14 October 1939. U-47 ranks as one of the most successful German U-boats of World War II. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
