Thanks, hopefully it will be popular. Bit small for my taste, but sounds like a good boat.

I have seen review of AFV's VIIB (1/350) on the Model Shipwrights forum:
http://www.modelshipwrights.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=5071
Looks pretty good.

Also, I have their 1/350 Type XXI, very nice kit...
On the workbench:
Trumpeter 1/144 Type XXIII U-boat
ICM 1/144 Type IIb U-boat
ICM 1/144 Type XXIII U-boat
Revell 1/144 Type VIID U-boat
Minicraft 1/700 USS Ticonderoga CG-47
Collecting materials:
(scratchbuild) 1/144 Type XVII-B Walther U-bo

what I'd really like to see is a nice type IX made by Revell, such a nice boat...

If you mean in 1/144 scale range then Academy's 1/150 IXB is your best bet (would require a lot of scratchbuilding  under the waterline and some detailing to make it look decent).
Both Nichimo's Type IX (in 1/200) are also great kits.

What i would like to see is Revell releasing 1/72 Type IXC and Type XXI that would be bomb! :D
