I am in the process of finishing this kit up... It has been a fun build and the kit - while being small - builds into a very nice detailed replica of the typical Type VII C U-Boat... Use a lot of patience when removing some of the railings as the sprue connections are a bit thick and makes removal from the tree a bit tricky even with sprue snips (in that I messed up a couple of the smallest railings)... I like this kit and highly recommend it for above average to advanced modelers but I would not recommend it for a beginner...
