Revell 1/144th scale U-boats...

I stumbled across the Griffon PE set on the DragonUSA website today for the type VII Cand D versions for this kit and was blown away by the PE sets and the shots of the Revell kit that they are designed for…there was a build-upof the kit w/ the PE attached and I had to order a set and the kit…

DragonUSA has the PE set for about half right now that it normally goes for…thru tomm…

Anyone have any experience w/ either of these kits???

Manny,

I have built all three; they are beautiful kits that I did not feel needed aftermarket products. They are a great build OOB.

Cool, seems that the type VII D is no longer available…

That is really too bad. The VII D is an interesting variant that should be available. Also too bad is the lack of the Type IX in all of its variants!

Bill

Yeah, I couldn’t resist when this became available for $25:

That is an incredible deal. I’ll check it out!

Bill

Wow, who’s selling these for 25 bucks? I’ll buy a set.

DragonUSA—better hurry—I believe the sale is thru today or tomorrow only…the one on sale is for the D model but is identical to the kit for the C models sans decals but plus parts for the mine compartment…normal cost is twice that much…

The U-boat kits are also getting hard to find…about $25 if you can snag one…C model is about all I have seen available…
