yvesvidal Posted March 1, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2023 I announced that new kit a few months ago. It is now becoming available and I just received the Box ordered from Sprues Brothers. The final result is targeted to people who wish to build a diorama in the 1/35th scale and combine the conning tower and deck of the U-Boot with some other numerous 1/35th accessories and details. The box allows you to build the following: Note that no crew members are included in the kit. The box is quite large (two feet long) and packed with a lot of parts: Multiple decorations and themes are offered and BORDER offers some decals, to cover most suggestions: Inside the box, multiple sprues are included: All the railings are protected by a paper box: The main deck section is molded in a single impressive part of two feet long (60 cm). All the holes, vents and openings are already drilled and molded perfectly. A small plate of Photo-etched parts is also included, with some decals. Instructions are well presented in a booklet in full colors: The kit is relatively expensive for what it is ($80-100) and the time of affordable kits is long gone. It seems to be of high quality and the molding is very well done with no ejection marks. A kit for submarine enthusiasts mostly....

ccoyle Posted March 3, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2023 Nice kit! I vote for doing the torpedo loading version -- it would make an awesome diorama.

yvesvidal Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted March 3, 2023 Great find RGL. I used RCSubs (CZ Subs) for my Trumpeter Type VII-C in 1/48 and I could not have been happier with their products. It looks like there will be plenty of add-ons and money to spend..... https://www.rcsubs.cz/index.php/photo-etched-sets/75-sets-for-viic-1-35-border-bs-001 Yves Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic_Nao Posted March 3, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 3, 2023 A very well detailed model. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote The best aperitif is not necessarily the most expensive, it's the one we share! https://modelshipworld.com/topic/34058-frigate-l-egyptienne-1799-scale-148-by-mic_nao/#comment-969607 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted March 3, 2023 Share #6 Posted March 3, 2023 Thanks for showing Yves, I have this one on my radar, since I saw the first pictures. I will build it along with the gun crew figure set. I would have preferred the loading setting, but the other make for an open sea dio with acrylic water, forming a wave to integrate the whole deck part into the water, not possible wit the loading figure set.
