05004 kit is IMO the best choice of all of them: it offers 5 different camo/decal versions of the type XXI: U-2502, U-2514, U-2540, U-3501 and U-3504.

05081 kit (the one I got) offers only 3 choices: U-2518, U-2536 and U-3504

On 05078 kit (the cut-away) version the interior is IMO too "toy-like" and inaccurate based on the pics of Type XXI interior I have seen so far.

Have you already decided which camo/version you will build? I would be interested in the rest of the decal sheet... (in particular decals no 10, 11, 14, 15 and 20 if you end up not using them).

i will probably use the U-2540 decals, but i havent decided yet for sure, i need to do a little research about each of those subs and then make up my mind.

Unfortunately, there is not much picture reference about particular U-boats. Mostly general stuff. If you find something useful please let me know.
