@mx thanks for sharing all the pictures but I was unable to find good picture of the splitters on original XXI. Good luck building your version of 1/144 XXI! If you need any help please feel free to PM me I'd be happy to help.
Thanks, I sure will need some good advice

On a side note: if you try to build German WW2 Type XXI I would suggest to avoid pictures of U-2513 (like the one you posted in this thread) as a reference because they show post-war XXI flying US colors and Americans made countless modifications to her after the war. I would also recommend avoiding any recent pictures of U-2540 (aka Wilhelm Bauer) docked in Wilhelmshaven because they didn't restore her to the exact XXI configuration as she was during WW2.
Good point, I had the same impression, when started to gather photos.

Just out of curiosity: which Revell model do you have: U-2518 (kit 05081), U-2540 (kit 05004) or the "cut-away" version of U-2540 (kit 05078)?
I have the 05004 kit, i heard there's difference between them all, but could you point them out?
