Hi gents,

Another to be added to the list. These are new figures from Hecker & Goros (KSHG 258) -



It includes a U-boat crewman and two seamen in distress (the base is not included).

Cheers,

Dougie

Dan,
Oto's PE is a great set.  You might consider substituting plastruct 1/16" I beam for the torpedo transfer rails on deck.  Oto's PE parts look a little thin, and IMHO the plastic rails look more authentic, at least to me. ;)

Good news!

RC Subs is ready to release its new full PE set for the Type IXC kit, including full deck.
Price will be €72.

He said he is "completely satisfied with the result, it is wonderful"

WOW what a nice kit. Way beyond my means though. :(

A bit cheaper than the TehnoArt set.

Hi All
 
Good catch falo
 
To be fair to the Tehnoart set, there is more than just propellers in their set and for europe the price including postage is only slightly cheaper for the G-Factor set.

The Tehnoart set seems very heavy on capstans, and has parts like the Hohentwiel radar that are duplicated in the RC Subs set (which I paid over $100 to purchase, so I'm looking to avoid too much duplication). The one thing missing is propellers, so this set, while not quite as nice as the Tehnoart ones, may be the ticket for me at least.

@ all,

some more detailed pixs of the ixc wooden deck directly from the manufactures webpage ("Nautilusmodels"). In addition they deliver also planks and hatches. As mentioned in the description text of the wood deck set.

Have a Happy Easter. Remember the reason for the Season.

Hi All
 
New annoucements from CMK:
 
Don't get too excited it's just some crewmen:
 
F72248 U-boat U-IX - Crew returning from a cruise part I (3 fig)
 
F72249 U-boat U-IX - Crew returning from a cruise part II (3 fig)
 
No prices yet, but probably around the £8 mark each set
 
Regards
Jon

Hi Cap,


maybe the Andrea U-Boat-crew sets are also a good choice to man a IXC:

Bought this crew set for a few years from the above mentioned company and was impressed by the details of the conning tower crew. They were sculpted in white metal and have crisp details:
