VIIB 1/125 scale
 
For a while now, I have been looking for this model kit for a decent price, and finally by chance I found a listing for it on Ebay.

I present, the kit for all you like-minded modelers out there:

be careful with uboat kit
 
l bought the same kit pictured on ebay a few months ago ,but from a different shop in the us . it has no cut away , just your std kit ,which is ok , but it would have been nice to have the one that is pictured. from what l found out, was that, the picture is an old kit , with the same part number 05054. which is a kit of the u-99. so l would ask the seller ,or google revell kit u-99 to see. also they made a type XXI with a cutout side view as well , which would have been nice too ,which I have seen , but is no longer made. my self I am looking for their 1:72 scale u-boat kit which is also hard too find these days . and there only plastic .:salute: foz out.

If you ever decide to get into multi-media modelling, I would suggest not using superglue. Temperature changes affect different materials at different rates and superglue is one such material. You will find all the joints to be very week if not non-existant after a rather short time.

I would suggest using plain ole Elmer's white glue. Iits flexibility after curring allows for the different temperature expansion rates much better than superglue.
