Revell made a 1/72nd scale Type VIIC U-Boat. This was the standard German U-Boat from WWII. They were in production and in use from before the war until the very end, in several different versions. This first kit comes in a lot of variations, and I am doing one as a waterline model.
I cut the hull in half, it is a full hull kit and cutting the lower half of the hull off was very time consuming.
I used a small spacer to help hold the hull and deck together. It is the spacer that comes with the kit, but I had to cut it down to fit too.
These are the big left over bits from the hull surgery.
Here is the hull after the lower part has been cut off. Once the hulls are cut down, I have to glue sheet styrene to the bottom so the hull is smooth.
