UBRASS - PE Floodset & Accessories
This set helps you depict accurate flood patterns (flood/vent/drain holes) for almost any type VIIC or even VIIB u-boat, including the VIIC/41. Includes Rivet Detail, accurate Torpedo Doors, Exhaust Patterns, Tensioners, Turnbuckles, S-Geraet and more. 1:72 scale.
The Revell VIIC is a good kit, but really needs some basic improvements. In 2006, as “UBrass”, we introduced our first improvement set, the Flood and Vent set. Demand became great and production was taken over by White Ensign Models (WEM) in the UK.
The set is now available exclusively from WEM, but support documents like:
- U-BOATS: Kriegmarine U-Boat Colours & Markings (PDF 1.2mb)
- U-BOATS: Type VIIC Free-Flooding Vent Patterns (1.9mb)
are always available from the AMP library.
