DK-UBPEN-072 - Uboat Pennant Set, US$14.95

See the accompanying article in the LIBRARY: German U-boat Victory Pennants.

Gatos had 5 major bow limber patterns but the Revell 1:72 kit only supplies one, and not much of a bow interior. AMP has designed a set to offer the patterns and the interior reinforcing frames (based on a combination of boats). We are taking “Expressions of Interest” right now, to determine production. This will be a LIMITED RUN ONLY. If you are interested, please see full article.

Expanding our Fabric Flag range, we have added the IJN naval ensign (1889-1945) in two sizes, both so far seem appropriate for submarines, and the large also for armor. With more research we hope to expand. See full article.

Replace the downright odd torpedo shutters on the Revell 1:72 Gato kit with accurate AMP Shutters. Replacement for the early “Valley” shutters are in the works (masters being built). The very popular Balao style (used on many, many Gatos) is nearly comeplete (ready for mold making). The “spoon” style used on the Revell kit are in production. Soon to follow will be stern shutters in PE, and tubes (with torp nose) and outer doors. See FULL ARTICLE for info and photos.
