Like Thomcdrchief, I have spent a lot of time viewing the actual U505, I am from the Chicago area, and while I was there for leave last year I took a lot of exterior and interior photos. If folks are interested I can start a thread that posts most of those photos. Ernest

Quote from: GlennCauley on 13 Jan , 2014, 07:20On the 1:72 Type VIIC boat, there was a Modelbrass set that included some of the same sorts of pieces.Mind you, the seller was absolutely HORRIBLE to deal with. Interesting... look at this: http://www.modelbrass.com/revell_viic-installed.htmThe photos of a VIIC with the installed Modelbrass inserts (with the HORRIBLE seller, Jason Overhulser) are taken by Boris Nakropin. He is the SAME person that is now selling the new PE 'inserts' for the Type IXC. I really hope those 2 guys are not in cahorts, because Jason Overhulser was absolutely HORRIBLE to deal with. Hmmmmmmm..........

Hi Glenn, all clear-signal for that matter: I have good experience dealing with B. Nakropin. I buyed from him via the german e-bay section a few photoetch sets for the VII (Revell). No problems at all and high-quality frets. AFAIK he is the only one who provides torpedo-tube-doors with hinges, so this doors are really three-D (Yankee Modelworks torpedo-doors have not that level of detail). Think there is more to come from his label for the new IXC.
