Hey, perdu just posted about a modified 1/72 VIIC today that was featured in Fine Scale. I linked to a bunch of finished VIIC's from other people that you may find interesting.

I personally own the kit, but I shelved it a few months ago to finish an Sherman tank and start work on a P-61. It's a HUGE boat, though!
