perdu · 07-12-07, 10:04 AM

hi all
i double checked and it hadn't been posted so let's explain
after having made a tiger with interior.. now it is an U boot type VII that TARGA will relase soon... (end of july? )

more than words...

more pictures

well it is not a 1/72 revel with all CMK kits (that i have to build... ) but... it doesn(t need paint or cement...

I checked the pictures on the link, and it looks interesting. Sort of like one of those medical models of a heart that you can take apart to see the valves and chambers etc.

Clearly in order to do that, some compromises have been made - check out the thickness of the deck rails for example - but it would nevertheless be a fun thing to have and probably useful as reference for 3D modellers working towards what many people on subsim desire - an explorable interior of their sub.

Good find Perdu, thanks for the heads-up

omg i need one

I just did a little research of my own, and it says expected release date is June 25th 2007. And by the looks of it, it is gonna cost alot.........in japanese currency.

well it clearly not pretend to be an ultra acurate model like plastick tamiya or revell ^^! it's more like anime figures...
in fact it is a gashapon style figure... ie each pieces are randomly packed into boxes so with one box you'll get a random part of the sub.
lukily it is possible to buy a fullset box which probabily will content TWO full subs ....

on a japan site it is annouced at a price about $62.09 USD; €45.16 Euros, plus shipping costs of curse ...
