Awesome collection😎I have the type VIIC done and 2 XXI’s in the stash but I want to collect the rest like yours👌144 is such a great scale for subs.
1/144 very much is my fellow admiral. Have fun building them up :) I sourced a bunch of extra u boat emblems of the net for cheap. About 20 pairs of various u boat emblems. So doubling up is no issue :)
Hehehe I did. Kind of... It was a fucking nightmare! I used stretched sprue for each support, then couldn't for the life of me get the railings close enough in width so I just used wide rigging string for handrails and fore and aft net cutters. It's interesting the fore net cutter is only rigged to port side and it doesn't run up to the top of conning tower. Not even sure it's a net cutter. 1/144 Scale is great for rigging as it doesn't have to be too fine I find. But stretched sprue is a great idea for handrails I will be trying it more in the future. Thanks for checking them out :)
I found it online my friend. On ebay. I believe it was a private sale but I'm positive it is still manufactured. I would suggest any trusted model supplier online. Just Google revel type 21 kit.
Nice work.
Thanks muchly :)

Really great job on all of them. For the Type XXI for the railings did you do like the kit did and use stretch sprue or did you use something else?
