<HTML>Sounds good to me. I have a keen interest in german uboats of WW2 and i have also purchased a R.C. model of U47 but as i speak it is still in its box.
With regards to building it i think i have bitten off more than i can chew. One more thing i would like to mention is that i visited germany earlier this year to go and see U995 typeVIIC at (laboe) in kiel and it was a good experience to actually go on board a german uboat.
once again this sounds like a good idea.
