I paid £12 for this model and to be honest it is the type of model you would pay 30-40 pounds for. The model is very big, highly detailed and very striking when finished.There is no flash at all. The manual is highly complex over 55 steps. The model is very complicated to make due largely to the fact that you have to paint, transfer the transfers and detail before assembly which is unusual for a build.You build the interiors first before you insert into the hull and then i would recommend doing a dry fit before final assembly.If you are into modelling, this is great build with experience. If you are starting out or have not alot of experience,

I am a 65 year old born again youth, who has got back into modelling since I retired. I bought this model back in February. It arrived quickly and was well packaged and I am thoroughly enjoying making it up. It is a complicated kit and is presenting a challenge to me. The sprues are clear of flashing, and although the instructions are far from perfect, by dry fixing and looking ahead regularly, the kit is coming together. I am working on about 5 models of different types and feel that I am learning quickly.As an aside, I am astounded at the number of reviews I read where people don't realise that they are buying a kit or get annoyed because no paints or glue are included.

I have been making models for over fifty years and am nearing completion of this kit..it has been a sheer delight to make with all parts fitting very well.The key to making this kit is patience,dry fitting,and planning.note-there is no deck rail included so if you require one you will have to make your own.i burnt tiny holes through the deck and fitted cut down pins super glued in place.Revell recommend this kit for experienced modellers and i certainly agree with that.

Most enjoyable kit of an hugely important design. As something of a painter I most enjoyed mixing thinners and pigments to create the subtle (dis)coloured greys of the hull of a boat which had actually been in seawater. To that extent, I would rather have had the version with the full hull (i.e without the cutaway hull and interior), but apparently, this version is no longer made or available. Pity.

Revell in my books are the best when it comes to Submarines, they have an extensive choice of submarines to build, and recently released many in smaller scales, including this cut away hull of a XXI Uboat. It's great to build any u-boat but this gives you the rare look at what life was like living & working inside one of these submarines.

Good little kit. First time I've built marine craft due to inevitable small scale. Ilike the cut away aspect. Only issue for me was manipulating the sprue to make deck rails so i haven't managed that.

Still in box hence four stars. Arrived in good time and well packed. Looks to be well molded, and a good price. Due to German law there are no Nazi markings but submerged it doesn't need a flag.

In the middle of making it at the moment - really looking forward to the finished product. lots of detail - will make a great companion to the Wilhelm Bauer on the shelf above.

Excellent detail and quality. as a regular model builder I enjoy a challenge. This meets all those requirements and should keep me occupied for some time.

All of the pieces fit together great.Instruction a little unclear in places. Only reason for 4 stars. Really loved making it

An excellent kit I really enjoyed building it, I usually only like ships but this caught my eye as you can see the inside.

The instructions were not as clear as they could have been and the pictures of the different parts were to small.

You'll need to be patient, painting it before you build it, but a beautiful model once completed.
