Thanks, Greg:
I am still contemplating the isssue. I have been working on u-99 intermittently between my academic duties as a law student. It i sbasically completee. All I have to do is detail the AA gun, the deck dun, and the parts of the conning tower platform. Scratch-building railing has proven the most daunting task. I have tried the sodder techinque, but I am finding it pracitcall impossible not to get portions of molten sodder that overlay the structure of the wire. All in all, I think it will be a nice model, but I am not sure it is possible to achieve the museum quality production I would like to have, capabilities permitting.
But as I also want to move on to a wooden plank on frame kit, the Amati u-boat might be far off. It sound like the fitting issues are pretty serious in nay event. As a closing note, I was wondering whether you chose to put the AA gun on the tower--or deck. Finally, I trust you painted the hull dark grey, and nto red aas the box suggests.
Warm Regards,
Einsamer Wolf
