Hi everyone! Anyone out there built the 1/72 Special Navy Type 11 U-boat? I just received mine, and am waiting for the PE set to arrive from AMP. The modifications look pretty daunting.
I'd appreciate any pointers, advice, and/or research material, especially photos of the type 11A, (I'm modelling the U-1).

Thanks in advance all,

Fathom

First of all I would reccomend that you check in at our navy oriented site

http://modelshipwrights.kitmaker.net/

And finally a tread where I build the boat (U6)

Many thanks sir,

I've been to some of those sites, and will check out the others now. Thank you so much for the information.
Happy modelling,
Scott

Really, THANKS. Don't know how I missed the build.....old age? Its great, and will be very helpful. Very much appreciated.

By the way, do you still have an extra copy of the book? I don't have
One and am willing to by yours, if you still have it.

Great job on your model!

Thanks again,
Scott

You are most welcome Scott.

No, the book is gone, sorry.

You might be able to find it on amazon.

The AMP set can look a bit scary, but its really great and is gifted with propably the best instructions I have seen - ever!

Cheers/Jan

I'm expecting my AMP set to arrive today. It does sound impressive. Would it be ok to e-mail you questions directly about this build.. As you know there are many changes to be made and I'm not sure if I have that level of experience yet. I' have recently (2years) returned to our hobby and am taking things slowly.

Thanks again,
Scott

Sure, or open a building tread (blog) on your build, theres a lot of nice an helpfull people on MSW that will like to help out and offer advice when needed.

Cheers/Jan

I'll do just that. I'll take all the help/advice I can get.

Thank you
Scott
