One of the most eagerly awaited new releases of the year is now available at your local retailer-the Revell of Germany VII C/41 German Submarine in 1:72 scale. This is the Atlantic version used later in the war.

Partly based on the extremely popular and award winning Type VII Submarine (Kit# 05015), approximately 60% of the 190 parts in this revised  version  are newly tooled. These include an authentic new conning tower  with antenna, compass  and protective shield detail, a new upper deck with engraving to represent wooden decking, a movable snorkel mast  and a highly detailed 37 mm anti-aircraft cannon with protective shield. In addition, the  rudder is positionable, the periscope can be extended and retracted in different positions and you have the option of open or closed torpedo hatches. The kit will also have material for reproducing the antenna  and a display stand.  You'll also find a gorgeous decal sheet printed in Italy with specific marking for submarine versions U 997, U 995, U 295, U 324, U 307 U 1023, U 1002 and   U 1105.

This 1:72 scale model kit measures out at just over 3 feet in length when complete and requires paint and glue, which is sold separately. It's a Skill Level 5 kit on the Revell of Germany skill level scale so it's designed to be constructed by experienced modelers. Ask your local hobby retailer for Revell of Germany kit number 05045.
