When I first saw this advertised, I thought it woud just be a modified standard VIIC kit, but I was pleasently surprised when FedEx delivered mine last evening. The only carry over parts from the first kit are the periscopes, bow and stern torpedo tubes, bow and stern dive planes, rudder, anchor and the prop shafts, supports and props. Everything else is new. The hull is modified to accomadate the longer conning tower and gun platform. The decks simulate the later wood decks, the conning tower is completly new and the anti-aircraft guns look real nice. A well detailed snorkle is included, along with decals for eight different boats, a couple of them with very colorfull paint schemes. This makes a great companion for the standard VIIC boat.
