U-Boat Type XXI with Interior

as with all my revell builds, i found this kit a blast to work through. although a basic, simple construction, care should be exercized throughout the steps to keep all completed sections aligned properly. using the complete hull half (not the windowed one) as a jig to hold each newly built section to the last while the cement sets assures the completed interior fits well inside the joined hull halves. i found joining the halves together to be the most challenging part of the build., so be aware of that. all in all, the kit was fun and informative as to what your basic submarine looks like inside. how authentic it actually is isn't really important to me, just that the model works for me visually, and this one definitely does. i thought weathering was necessary to jazz up the outside, but left the interior pristene, as a contrast to make it pop. i love this kit and look forward to building revell's other u-boat with interior model, which is already in my stash. i highly recomend it to modelers with some experience. building this one, i felt like i grew as a modeller, and that's as good as it gets! p.s.: be ready for some serious decal time, because this interior has hours of tiny decals to apply in challenging places. very rewarding,though.

I cannot explain to you all how much fun I had building this model. From each room, to the airbrushing, to assembly, it was fun at every moment. The pieces all fit well, and nothing required trimming. This piece looks AMAZING as a book shelf topper, a centrepiece, or just sat on the shelf on your desk. With all the mixing of yellow, green, and grey internally this model is sure to catch the eye of any beholder, and break the ice of any person who may enter your house. Every decal fit relatively well and was NOT prone to tearing or ripping. I’m a relatively new model builder (only made maybe 5 or 6, with only 1 fully completed) and I had virtually a stress-less experience building this model. If you’re looking at the screen right now thinking “should I buy this model? I don’t know...” all I suggest to you is 100% yes. You won’t regret it.

Can't wait to build, this will be my first time doing a sub.
