I just ordered mine!

:sunny:

Good news Bill.
When i finish my U-552 , which is going to be good few months from now , i will have closer look at the 1-144 VIIC.
Do not forget i have wooden deck for that model , and im not going to let it go untried.:up:

I know you do, I was hoping I could talk you out of it :lol:

Santa coming late this year
 

Bill - i still have months of work on my beast so i let you have the deck , as long as you cover the build with step by step , so we can all admire the excellent model which VIIc is.;)



PS:send me the PM with your address please

Hi Bill & Siara :)

I just took a quick peek in my wallet and found $60.00 my wife didn't find.:huh:

This 57 yo retired kid is off to my local well stocked hobby store and finally get me my own boat.

Wish me luck.


BTW guys see I gotta plan. I get it home , put some dust on the box, put it under the bed then pull it out when she's home and say "WOW I forgot all about this I wonder how long this has been here." :D

That's exactly what this 54-yr old working stiff does :lol:

DAMN:damn: If only it was that easy with a box 3 FEET long:o

She would never fall for it............

Sav.

That sounds like plan Firewall , and good luck.
Post some pics please. I wonder if the detail is as good maybe better then VIID

Heres my CT from VIID in the same scale:

Ive been to the London Holborn model shop today , and to my surprise the new VIIC is on the shelve.
Price is 15.99£ if memory serves me right.
I looked in the box / yes the box was open already / and the model looks to me to be carbon copy of the minenlager version , but the deck is shorter.
Everything else is the same as VIID.

UPDATE : Help need more dust.

Spent all the $60.00 and $35.00 more. Put that on plastic.

Hopped over to HomeDepot and got a complete exacto set and a new Dremel with all the Bells and Whistles. My old stuff is just that Old.

Put it all on the good ole Visa too. :D Not to worry.:yep:

I have a Plan. :know: I think so anyway. :hmm:

When are Revell going to release a 1/72nd scale TypeIX?

I dont know , but i just found something that might interest me after the 552 project.
Look at the pic:

nice and big...:yep:

PM sent.

RGR-got it Bill.
Sending it in couple of days when i find the right box.

Just make sure you have every single base covered. You don't want her to say "Not long, I'd imagine, since I vacuumed under that bed THIS MORNING!"
