I received mine a few minutes ago. This model is nothing less than magnificent! The instructions set a new standard for the paper model world. Kooklik has even included parts for the conning tower railing assembly jig! I may never actually build this but I'll "read" it like a good book for years to come. Congratulations and thank you, Kooklik, for what may be the finest paper model package ever published.

OK, OK - I just had to print it out (remember to use the corrected pages P and Q Kooklik e-mailed you) and touch it a little. I printed the weathered version which is done with a very light touch - it looks like a ship that has been at sea a few months but doesn't yet need to be drydocked for a hull scraping and repainting. I know it has been mentioned before but this package comes with three versions - "white paper" for your personal recoloring, unweathered for that "brand new" look and, of course, the weathered version. The value received in this package is worth every penny of the price (indeed, I was prepared to pay twice that). Back to work now on non-submarine matters (Super Corsair, SSW D.III and a couple other double-secret projects I don't want Carl to find out about).

Got mine too! I Just put on the Das Boot soundtrack, and am thumbing thru the kit. Ditto's to Old Trolls comments, maybe a build this year kit! Thanks Kooklik!

Boy, I would love to have time to build this thing. It looks beautiful. Ron, Ted? Please? Pictures?

Well, I obviously don't have pictures of something I'm too busy to build but a very close acquaintance also has this model and dropped by this evening to show me what he had done so far.



All the frame parts for the bow section are on Page A and are identified A-1 through A-9. All the joining strips are on the first sheet of strips and are also identified with an A number, e.g. A-3a for the strip on bulkhead A-3. All the skins and other parts for this section are on Page M and are numbered M-1 through M-14. All parts requiring lamination are on their own pages, as are the joining strips. I am more and more impressed with this model, especially since my acquaintance was able to get quite a bit done in just a few hours. He assures me the fit is excellent. I can hardly wait to start on mine later this year <<wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more>> When I do, I'll start a normal build thread if appropriate.

Looks like you're gonna get sucked into building this boat -- I see your build of Will's Corsair shoved into the background . . .

[OldTroll]

Ignore the Super Corsair behind the curtain. Actually, my close "acquaintance" asked me to start an actual build thread so I have done that for him in the appropriate sectioin. Now that he's out of the way perhaps I can get back to work on the Corsair.
