Revell Type VIIc U-boat:

Hey that's great i'm owning the VIIC allready and looking forward to XXIII

I've got the VIIC, trying to convert it to a Turm IV config with the dual twin 20mm mounts on the upper bridge and the 37mm on the wintergarden.

There's a conversion kit out now, but it's about $80 or so- plus, I've already started my version.

Could you give me a reference to this conversionkit...

Shadow9216 · 08-09-05, 12:10 PM

It was in the latest issue of Fine Scale Modeller magazine, I don't have it with me here at work.

okay well if you'll get home I'll be more than happy if you would do me a favor and point me in the right direction.

Glassair, do you have by the way a sister named Leontien de Vries working at a german Airline as stewardess ?

Why what did you do with her? It's my wife

I would like to find out who is putting out this conversion kit as well. I have two of the Revell kits, and plan to build one early-war boat, and one late-war boat. But so far have had no luck finding a late-war conning tower kit anywhere...

I think some of these postings should either move to a completely different site (there are many of them) or be p.m.'s.....
They are as off topic as can be!
