Hello. I have a question to your in occasion of model U-552 (Revell). I would like to learn, whether there are any additional sets of details for 'scopes and the captain's bridge? And if yes, could your name firms-manufacturers? Thanks.
P.S. Excuse for my bad English. :-\

Welcome aboard Hunter!
No worries, your English is fine.
There are lots of after market kits available. The best Conning Tower/Sail/Bridge/Turm is by CMK, but is no longer available, though there must be some somewhere. Two excellent sources are White Ensign Models (WEM) and Models by Mickster.
WEM:

There's aftermarket info at my U 557 site:
http://www.rokket.biz/models/modelsweb/rokket/u557/
There WERE brass periscopes and gun barrells, turned on a CNC lathe, excellent quality, but the fellow (Steve Nuttall) making them died last year. A few places do similar, but it is hard to get good guns and scopes.
Hope this helps at least a little.
Keep us informed about what you need, and how your model is coming along.
Best,
Wink and all the sub modellers

Тhanks you for the help. Your boat is magnificent, boxes with products have especially liked. I live in Russia and how much I know, we have not enough products of these firms... But I shall try to find these details in the Internet-shops. Thanks you. Basically much also it is not necessary to me, I only wished to finish the captain's bridge to a normal condition... :)

Here it that is necessary for me, thanks.

Thanks Siara, that looks like a very useful site! Not many folks are making 'scopes and barrels. I will add it to the link system. For any Non-German users, just use Google translate.
