TRUMPETER TYPE VIIc 1/48 UBOAT.

This is the completed model after many delays and considerable indecision. The final result is seen as a typical type VIIC, as the representation of U-552 was deemed too inaccurate. I admit to a lot of procrastination over the look I wanted to achieve and only ended up thinking I should have achieved better results. It turned out OK but I had got to the point where I lost interest so just wanted it finished. This is a good kit built straight from the box, but you can now purchase a staggering amount of RESIN, PE and upgrades enough to produce a museum quality model if you have the money, skill and patience. I don't have either. There are many examples of this build on the net for comparison on finish and technique and all represent the individuality of the modeler and what they want to achieve. I found them all very helpful. I spent too long on this kit and lost my way with too many breaks so i lost the flow of a progressive build. All i can add is do your research and study other builds in order to get in your own mind the result you want. It makes for an impressive model though purists feel it is lacking in accuracy and detail. There is nothing else on the market to compare it with in this scale so i can recommend it if you have the room. most impressive.
