I just finished using some of the decals from the AMP Type II upgrade set on my U-45 build and they are superb!  I cut out the numbers "4" and "5" together as one piece and placed them for a few seconds in distilled water.   They were very easy to apply and the carrier film is absolutely invisible.  I also had to cut through the tail on the number "5" on one side of the conning tower to conform to the inset of the navigation light - no difficulties encountered.  I airbrushed clear gloss future before and after application of the decals with no problems at all - I did not have to use any decal setting solution or solvent - the decals went down extremely well and look like paint when dry and sealed.

I am very pleased with the decals - congratulations AMP!

Cheers,

Bill

Thank you very much Bill! We were worried because they are more fragile than the usual, but we couldn't handle a 5,000 unit run!

I used Future on my last decal job (wow, the VIIC a couple years ago! I better get building stuff!). I only coated future where the decals were going, applied, coated again, and then coated with dullcoat just feathering over the edges. It worked great and meant I didn't have to cover the entire model with two needless coats (future and dulcoat). It's not the recommendaed way, but I like it!

Hi Guys,

Just placed an order for this set and very much looking forward to it arriving. I am new to the forum and progressing slowly on the SN 72nd Type II U-Boat.

I am primarily an aero model builder but having the 72nd scale Revell VII C & also the VII C/41 in long term storage I recently bought the SN 72nd Type II U-Boat because I thought this would be a good place to start.

This seems to be a great forum for all maritime things so I will enjoy hanging around here.

All the best to everyone for the New Year.

Dave.

Many thanks. I had to order the PE set through my son Chris who has a Paypal account. Makes a nice change for me to use his money  :)

As soon as I get time I'll post some progress pics.

By the way, this sure is a great forum.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Hi All,
I considered the Typ II but the reviews are not very impressive. Especially about the parts fit together.
And here in Australia my local shop wants 120,- Aussy Dollar (84Euro) for the Typ II plus 50 for the PE set is just an overkill.
Now I started with the Typ VII instead.

A kind of frustrating if I see al the cool models here on the forum.  ;)
