I like the fact that it would make for more subs displayed in a small space, but I doubt I have the eyesight or steady hands needed for delicate work like that.
Anything you have to detail with a single bristle from a modeler's brush is too much for me!

Then I guess my collection of 1/2400 Majestic class battleships is right out, then?:rotfl:

I do have to question one statement made about thie kit.
Quote:
Can be finished as either a Class VIIC or Class IXC submarine.

I suppose it has extra hull pieces to extend the length to match a IXC but I would have my doubts the IXC hull was merely a longer VIIC with the VIIC conning tower.
Including a merchant broken in half as a set piece is a nice touch, though.

Your mention of the broken merchant made me look at the box again. I've built that kit, and it's a misprint: it actually contains a model of
both the type VII and Type IX.
I'm glad you found what you wanted. have fun.
