This is one of the best photo-etch for a model I have ever seen,
it`s really a must have for the SN type II-A,recommended to everyone
who wants to mdel this type II-A.I have three sets for all the three boats.

This multimedia set is made by modellers for modellers.

AMP Battleflag,

I have hold in my hand many different kriegsmarine battleflags,
but this one is best I have ever seen,AMP have some flags
in different scales,so if you you want a historical flag on you`re boat.
this is the one.

AMP waterline decals,

As you can see I have three boats of this type,I want to convert two of these
boats into a type II-B(U-121) and a II-C(U-60),and one boat would be a II-A(U-6).

Iam also working on U-201 and the U-2511,al these boats were under the command
of Adalbert Schnee,five boats in total.

To convert a type II-B is done before,but to convert a type II-C,
can be a problem.

Her are a few pictures I collected from the web,enjoy.

U-6
Type II-A

Second row,second boat fron the right is U-6.

22-08-1938,Kiel.

Her some pictures of U-6 with a black number 6 on the CT.

U-6 escape buoy,I found this picture on EBAY.

U-6 was the only boat of the type II-A that actually have round holes in the deck,
instead of the usualy slots that the other type II-A`s have.
In this picture is`t clearly visible.

U-60
Type II-C

U-Boat type VII-D minelayer version/conversion set for U-Boat type VII-C.

Special Navy type VII-D photo-etch parts.

Special Navy type VII-D decals.

This set contains decals for U-213,the snorting bull(1),in front of the CT.

Decals for U-217,the saw fish(2)and a shield with a white ross(5).
But according to Georg Hogels`s book,U-217 sunk the british steam merchant
Rhexenor on 03-02-1943 in southeast of Bermuda.The survivors of the merchant
saw "TWO SAWFISHES'' on both sides of the cunning tower,but the Special Navy
decals set contains only ''ONE''sawfish.

And decals for U-218,the three fishes on the bow of the boat.

Nautilus wood deck.
http://nautilusmodels.com/72-502.htm

This is really a great deck,I must have for my boat.
It was a a pleasure to doing busines with nautilus models,
they answer there emails correcty,and they great products.

Three resin hatches.

I was very happy that I bought this brass deck on EBAY.COM,
the seller is a very good guy,answers his emails very correctly.

I don`t like to doing business with Jason from Modelbrass,
he is an idiot.If I ever see this guy walking on a crossover,
I won`t step on the break,I put the peddle on the middle.

Special Navy,type XXIII,scale 1/72,http://www.cmkkits.com/en/ships/u-boat-type-xxiii/

I bought this baby on EBAY.DE for a reasonable price too.

I think I wil go for a successful XXIII.There were only three boats
that sunk an enemy ship,U-2321,U-2322 and U-2336 sunk two ships.U-2336
sunk the last two ships in WWII under the command Kptlt Klusmeier on 7 May,
in this event Klusmeier sunk two British freighters,
see image below where this event took place.

If you ask me,this is a very herioc action undertaken by Klusmeier,
in the last days of WWII in enemy territory,
Klusmeier had some balls................. to do this.

From left to right,U-2336,U-2341 and U-541 Lisahally after the German surrender.

So all in all I think I will go for modelling U-2336,but I need more photgraphic
evidence of this boat.

This is a decent kit,very accurate,like any other models
there is some scratchbuild on the boat to look her goooood.
