Hi all, Jeff Douglas, a friend of mine told me to have a look over at Squadron.com's website at the new Type VIIc by CMK - thanks Jeff!
It is a waterline resin model, retailing at $185.85 and currently listed as Out of Stock. CMK's website has no information about this model so it is likely a pre-production listing. The listed features sound quite nice, and if this baby makes it to production, I will be buying it.
You can find by entering: Czech Master Models/1:72/subs&uboats into the search engine on the site. Check it out.

thanks for the info!

You are more than welcome-glade to help. Judging by the quality of other CMK aftermarket kits,this one might be a winner.
Happy Modeling to all- Jeff

well, I'm still in contact with the guys from "das Kantoor" http://www.artitec-deutschland.de/, actually the guys who made the masters for the CMK maritime line.
every half year I ask them when the "hafenschlepper" (tug) will appear. no news with that item :'(, BUT:
VII C waterline in preparation with CMK, and they think about stuff for a u-boat pen ("Bunker") to go with their drydock- parts............... :o

BUT:
do we really need a waterline resin Typ VII C ???
I just chopped the lower hull off one of my revell ones................

My thought exactly! A full hull 1/72 uboat would be nice. We all want XXI or some IX version...

Hi guys,
Another new kit in the pipeline - Revell will bring out a 144th VIIC/41 (RV5100). :)
Cheers,
Dougie

I agree that a 1:72 full hull Type IXa, b or c, would have been a nicer surprise then a "waterline" Type VII. But, I will by it anyway! :P

wish list:
Typ IX
Typ XXI 8)
more turret conversions for Typ VII
and that harbour tug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

more turret conversions for Typ VII
One possible DIY conversion... VIIC/41 to VIIF. The hull and the shape of the deck is similar with these boats. Just like Special Navy

Here a set of Type VIIF drawing I have. Can not remember where I found them on the net.

Thanks Simon! :)
So there is torpedos storaged outside of the pressure hull! More hatches on the deck... A deck plan would be superb!
-
There a deck plan drawing of the Type VIIF in Anatomy of the Ship: The Type VII U-Boat by David Westwood :)
-
Yes in the page 40 & 41 but those are quite poor. :-\ Looks more like the writer has guessed the look of the deck.
-
Yes, you are right, the drawing are quite poor! I will keep a eye out for a better set.

Hi!
I have also been kicking around idea of a 1/72 type VII F. A good set of deck plans would be nice!

Hey Dan:
Haven't heard from you since the Nationals back in August.
The Kruppwerkes is back home and looking for a permanent home. (Hopefully a museum setting, but so far no takers)
With regards to the Type VIIF deck plan there is a general arrangement plan in David Westwood's book Anatomy of the Ship / the Type VII boat on page 41 plate A10, but I,m afraid a lot of detail is lacking. I will go through my U-boat books to see if there are any other photos or plans. I hope this helps.
All the best,
Don

Hi Don!
A Merry Christmas to you!
You should be able to find Krupp Werks a good home! What a wonderfull diorama! Thank you for any help on the Type VII F! I have been working on my 1/72 Type IX U-805 project. I am taking a break for the hoildays, will begin again on Boxing Day. I needed a break from this. It truly is becoming a major work in progress! It is fast becoming a major scratch building effort!
So what are you working on now? Another 3 year project? Let me know how and what you are up to my friend!
Best Regards,
Dan

I'm sure the 805 will be quite the boat when finished.
I'm doing Revell's 1/72 scale U-boat as U96. The origional plan was to do it OOB, but I made the mistake of seeing Siara's thread and from then on all bets were off. I started the project on Sept 15 and as of today I am not yet at Revell's step one in the kit instructions! Hopefully it will not be a three year project, but I could see it taking the better part of a year.
Needless to say, I do not have 1/100 of his modeling skills (Does anyone. I wonder?) but I am trying to follow his lead where I am able. I am also using both Wink's and Glenn Cauley's builds for inspiration and information.
Right now I have the scratchbuilt pressure hull almost finished, the holes and vents drilled out, and the exterior hull 'oilcanned.' Lots of pressure hull detailing that will not be readilly seen, but I feel good knowing it's there, plus the fact that it allows me to sharpen my modeling skills along the way. With luck, and a good tailwind I should have the hull halfs together before the new year.
I hope this note finds you well, and I wish you all the best through the holidays. Stay in touch.

Hi Don!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
I had over 2 feet of snow here! So that is giving me plenty of time with family and my U-805! I am presently working on detail on the top of the pressure hull. I am following the basic pattern of the Type VII, but the Type IX had a different arrangement with the D-Motors in a different location next to the Control Room. I hope to have this U-Boat done by Omaha in 2011!
U-96 will be an interesting project! Hook up with Dougie to see if he has any info and photos of this U-Boat to help with paint and other details specific to this U-Boat. You will find that the Revell kit is specfic to few Type VII U-Boats, many differences between Boats and many changes over the life of the Boats as well.
Looking foward to seeing you and your work again!
Regards,
Dan
