Revell 1/72 U-Boat crew

Post by Simbo »

Hello all,I have been looking for a box of the Kriegsmarine u-boat crew to finnish off the Revell V11C . Rarer than hen`s teeth by the looks of it so I was wondering if any of you chaps have a couple of figures left collecting dust some where that would look good on the conning tower ? I would buy/pay postage of course.
Danke,
Paul

Hi Paul

I have the set and can spare some of them.

PM me with your address and I will get them in the post.

I got them originally to modify and go on my Flower Class Corvette.

A box load of sailors are on their way to you as I type, I originally got them to convert to English Sailor's for Matchbox flower class corvette but was surprised to find Revell had used the soft Airfix type plastic so they would have been to hard to modify.

I think Revell must have modelled the crew on the Das Boat film, as half of them are stood to attention as if on parade, but you do get some bridge and gun crews so all is not lost.

We look forward to seeing photos of the build.
