Einsamer,
Was just about to send you my problems encountered with the Amati kit when I read the problems Greg Dorfmeier sent you. I really don't have anything else to offer, he covered it all. If you are not an expert builder stay away from this kit. Its the right size, thats what attracted it to me, however to much fine detail needs to be done to the hull section to give this sub justice. And I said I did not have anything else to add, well it just makes me mad that my kit went sailing across the room and smashed into the cement wall after many hours of working on it. Bottom line things don't fit right and the only way to make this kit work is to have skill, time and patience. Good luck if you go after this one, its a shame no one makes a good 1/72 scale static kit that has the detail we are looking for.
Also who are your sources in ref. to the deck question? Would you mind if I throw this out on the floor to see what others have to say. I really don't want to pay all that money for a model if this is the deck is wrong.
