Revell 05154 German Submarine Type VII C/41 1:350 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Really good quality

A lovely little model but the parts are absolutely tiny and very fragile , I snapped the icebreakers trying to cut them from the sprue . Be prepared to use a large magnifying glass and tweezers. However as a level 4 kit you would expect this kit to be a bit difficult. I am pleased with the result.

It's ok

ok

Great little model. About eight inches long when completed and after a paint job and some weathering it looks really nice. Nice detail but some of the parts are literally a few millimetres long and you need some skill to get a good finish. About three hours from opening box to complete and weathered/painted and on it's stand. Thinking about getting the Platinum version at 1/72 scale. It looks like a beast

Plastic not has good has some models. It did the job.

This model is corrupt trying to build it and the pieces does broke off it it's does a lot of rubbish l like my money back

A nice model but a lot smaller than i expected

I did a great job

Revell knows how to mould model ships ... when it wants to. I'm building two of them right now - this model of a German Type VII C/41 U-boat, the most common variety in the stable of Admiral Donitz, who led the sub force. For the money, it's a lot of value. The other one I'm building is an ANCIENT kit of a soviet fishing boat converted to spy on US Carrier task forces. I built one literally decades ago, and have really wanted to build another one. At that time the kit was presented as a deep-sea fishing trawler, and I converted it to a Soviet spy ship. Now the kit IS a Soviet spy ship ... but that kit hasn't aged well. I haven't checked out the Type VII U-boat kit, but I researched them extensively for a novel I was considering writing - I eventually moved on as it didn't want to "come together" the way I'd envisioned it. But I'm glad to re-make my acquaintance with the kit again (like the fishing trawler, I've built this one before). It's a sweetheart of a kit. Everything fits, the detail is very good given its scale (1/144th Scale). If I rebuild my model railroad layout (hope springs eternal), I'll have a small Naval Museum, with this kit as an on-display war prize. Actually, the only war prize German U-Boat I'm aware of is at the Chicago Museum of Science and History (I think that's it's name) which has the U-505 - captured by a US carrier task force led by the USS Guadalcanal, overseen by an Admiral Gallery - who wrote a book about how he engineered the boarding and capture of the damaged U-Boat. Well worth reading if you can find it - check a public library, as Gallery's books are out of print hard to find and costly for anybody but a collector. Back to this kit, it's easy to assemble, unless you want to rig the ship with lifelines, radio antennae and other filiments. I'd either use one of the stretchy rigging lines from Germany (where this kit is from) or I'll stretch some sprue - something beyond the scope of this review. Basically, you take one of the runners (called sprues) that the parts came on, heat it over a candle flame until it start to sag, then pull the two ends apart. What's left in the middle is a stretched sprue. Being plastic, you can use "model glue" or you can use Krazy Glue in any of its many iterations. Or, if there's a PE kit for this kit, they might have the lines you need. I've never been a big fan of PE (short for "Photo Etched" - a process that allows you to make very tiny segments of brass or steel to give added accuracy to the built-up model. This U-Boat model kit is worth if, if you like submarines. Like almost all submarine models (except a few created in larger scales - 1/72nd, 1/35th, etc.) which are uber-detailed but EXPENSIVE (and worth it if you like big ship models), it's as good as you'll get.
