Housesparrow Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I noticed today a reference to an upcoming uboat kit today in my local hobby shop. A 1:48 scale type VII uboat. Someone apparently found some pictures of a test model for me in the store on the internet, but I couldn't find it at home after searching for this. Found it listed here though: http://stevenshobby.com/productlisting.aspx?supplierid=5270&categoryid=2 If there is any other info on this kit, I would like to know. I thought it was a little comical when I saw it, with the model being that huge. And I thought the 1:144 scale model of this uboat was big. I guess this model would fit nicely up on a wall somewhere, thus not in a cabinet, nor on a table. Edited October 13, 2015 by Housesparrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not sure about Trumpeter but there has been a previous thread about a 1/48 type VIIC u boat available for £225.00, also the Hatchette part works is a 1/48 model of the U-96 type VII. Having built trumpeters 1/144 Seawolf, i would be a little concerned about twisting in the hull halves as well as the matching up of the opposing halves, the Seawolf hull halves were not the same length. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
