Hello, SG,

it is really very friendly of you to want to give the XXI kit to Glenn. You are a real model building buddy.

From the company "Schatton Modellbau" is even a attack periscope in scale 1/144 available for the above mentioned kit:

The 4 barrels for the 2 cm flak could be taken from this set by Griffon to add more detail to the model:

Hi SG,

Thank you for your kind offer for the Wilhelm Bauer kit, but I already have that one.  :)
I am waiting to find out from RCsubs if/when he will have a conversion set to convert the WB to a wartime XXI... he even hinted at a 3D printed tower, but we'll see what materializes.

Stuff from Schatton Modellbau is very good, I have dealt with him in the past with great success.   Griffon stuff is very good, too.  :)


Cheers all,
Glenn :)

Hi Glenn, hi SG,

in the meantime I can confirm that the boat hulls of the "Wilhelm Bauer" kit are identical with those of Glenn's searched kits (Revell 1/144 XXI).
This only for information, because I could check both halves at a friend's house. He also told me that the Mini-Hobby kits are identical to the Revell kits, as Revell had purchased the Mini-Hobby molds for more than a decade.

Here is an interesting link where this statement is confirmed:
https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/revell-type-xxi-2518-and-2540-in-1-144.47834/

The kit identical with revell can be purchased here:
