Hi KenP,

Yes it is the U-177, but I didn't build it, I was lucky to get it from a friend who was disposing of it. Also, there was extra work done on the weathered type finish, so I can't really comment on an "out of the box" model, but I am sure that the cutting of the slots will be very time consuming.

The slots are precut on both Robbe kits, Type VII and Type XX1.

Have you seen the Type VII from John Bertola? A combination of mouldings from him, and precut deck and fittings from Accurate Armour.

Accurate Armour also do a diorama type Type VII and Dock area, at 1/35th scale I think, but it is a resin waterline model. Very detailed.

Peter.
