"Attack Tiger" U-Boat Type VII C 1/72 Fantasy Repaint by Dave Winfield

My newest repaint of Kookliks fabulous U-Boat! it contains all the original parts redone in a brand new FANTASY paint scheme.
"Germany's Underwater Secret Weapon?"
Known for their unique camouflage methods, this might have been something imagined by the Third Reich!

This kit includes a full Hull fantasy camo, new Insignia and Flags
and an updated Stand/Nameplate!



At the beginning of the WW2, German U-Boats controlled the Atlantic ocean from the European coast to North America. Their roll was to cut off the Allies shipping supplies. Most of the U-Boats were the Type VII which became the work horse type of German Kriegsmarine. The “Happy Time” period, ended after the allies improved their anti-submarine warfare. The U-Boats often became the hunted, instead of the hunter! To survive the patrols, U-Boats were fitted where possible with more powerful anti- aircraft guns, and a snorkel to help avoid detection while recharging batteries. This U-Boat model is the later type VII C equipped with 2 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 3.7 cm flak gun on the wintergarden. The type VII was still serving Germany until the end of the war. U-Boat Type VII C specification Length Full Hull: 67.1 metres Pressure hull 50.5 metres Beam: 6.2 metres Beam pressure hull 4.7 metres Speed: 33 klm per hr surfaced 14 klm per hr submerged.

Yep, yep, got my E Mail ad today and had to take a gander at it. I can see I will be snagging either this or the North Atlantic version soon. For the price, I could buy all three, plus a couple of PE sets to use with them and still have a hunk of change left over from what they want for the plastic versions.
