1/72 DKM U-552 (Revell Germany)
This is Revell of Germany’s 1/72 scale U-552 Type VIIC WWII German U-boat. U-552 was launched on September, 14, 1940. It had a very successful career and at one time was commanded by Erich Topp (one of the most successful U-boat captains to survive the war). U-552 was scuttled on May 2, 1945 to prevent capture by the Allied forces.
I built this model in 2005. Listed below are the modifications/additions that were made:
An Eduard photo-etched detail set was used-
Fishing line was used for the rigging details-
This was great kit to build and it really went together well. I believe it one of the best submarine kits available.
