Hi Cap,


for my liking the guys looks a little bit static.

Hi falo
 
I know what you mean, with only the heads and one hand to attach there isn't much scope for variation.
 
Regards
Jon

I broke down today and ordered the first four CMK/MPM detail sets from Aeromodel.  Jan at CMK emailed me that they were shipping the end of next week, and Aeromodel thought I'd have the kits in about three weeks.  The forward torpedo room, Petty Officer's quarters, Captain's and Officer's quarters with wardroom, and the Galley are due in first.  This will be my first venture into the interior modeling, but I've been inside the real thing so many times, I'm confident I can put something passable together.  Now I have to figure a way to tell the wife how much it cost! :'(

Has there been any further news on the other CMK sets they originally revealed?    Looking for bridge details, armament, etc.   I cannot find it anywhere.    Is there a contact e-mail within CMK that someone could pass along?   :D

Sorry for not posting this earlier, I've been camping in the UP of Michigan for the past two weeks.  You can send an email to Jan at eshop_info@cmkkits.com, but he replied the products would be out in a couple of weeks or so, and gave me this link to Aeromodel: http://www.aeromodel.eu/en/1-1-6/NAVY-SERIES-1-72/?cur=2 

I just got a bin full of mail today, but nada for sub parts.

Has anyone seen this set? I don't really know how it overlaps with the PE sets out:

Hi Bill,

Do you happen to mean THIS set (for the IXC):  http://www.aeromodel.eu/en/1-1-6/NAVY-SERIES-1-72/1-72-U-Boot-IX-Exterior-Set-Part-I-for-REV.html?cur=2

If it is anything like the set for the VIIC (the link you provided) it will include detailed parts for:   attack periscope base, UZO + binoculars, main deck gun (88), and possibly turned metal periscopes.  This is just a guess!
I have the set for my VIIC and it was worth it.   I plan to get the set for the IXC (#N72013).

Hi Glenn, falo et al,
 
I'm a bit bemused with CMKs announced list of external detail sets:
 
N72023 2cm Veirling (self explainatory)
N72020 Weapon Conversion Set - 10.5cm & 2cm Flak Vierling.(earlier armaments for U505)
N72018 Weapon Set- Single 3.7cm M42 & 2*2cm zwilling (final Armament for U505)
N72019 Torpedo Loading Cart on Sea (foreward, aft or both?)
N72013 Exterior Set Part I, no details yet
N72021 Exterior Set Part II, no details yet
 
I'm guessing that the Veirling being listed with the 10.5cm and by itself would be a welcome, if rather late option for for the Type VIIC/41 (RV05045), or a replacement for the original in the Revell Schnellboot S100 & Flak 38 (RV05002).
 
If I had to guess I would say that N72013 will be a tower detail set as Glenn said, but I suppect that there will not be a deck gun, probably with some crewmen to populate the tower.
 
N72021 Would be the equivalent of the N72006 Exterior set Part II resupply at Sea. However the N72006 set is perfectly usable for the type IXC. So all bets are off. Personally I would love to see a turm 0 or II, however as discussed elsewhere this would be very expensive, needing to replace most of the tower and part of the deck.
 
Regards
Jon

Wow!! Excellent work with those PEs. A question about the brass deck, Oto: what have you used to glue the brass deck to the plastic? CA, epoxy or white glue/gators glue? I have read many alarming reports about brass decks ungluing after a sudden change of tempeature and i am trying to understand whats the best adhesive to use in order to prevent unwanted troubles. Am looking forward to seeing the painting process started!
