The Ship Model Forum

If I recall correctly, this book also has some cool type XXI stuff, but I'd have to confirm. Photo from the WWW.

My local HS has the 1:144 Revell kit; I may just go ahead and snatch it for a Christmas gift from me to me.

I checked out the kit; thanks Jim. A bit pricey for me at this time.

Thanks for the links fellas. I'm trying to assemble as much as I can on these ships.

BB61, this site has some model in 1/48:

Check it! :wave_1:

Nice regards: Jimmy

This book, from the Vom Original series:

This book, volume 4 from A-J pres also has some decent reference photos of the type XXI; still digging. (Image from WWW.) Does anyone know of any I might be missing?

For instance, this book by Schiffer is also OK. (Image from the WWW.) I�m going through my book stash looking for others; stay tuned.

I understand the implication Tim, and will also post in the calling all ship fan sections, or wherever. However, I will want from time to time to add other books regarding the Type XXI to this thread, as I have a few, and am constantly searching for more.

Anybody?

As many here may also have a problem with, whenever I get a really cool new book, I frequently develop a desire to build that particular item, whatever it may be. To illustrate, I just recently acquired a copy of the book below on the type XXI German U-boats, and now have developed a passion for wanting to build one. Besides the Revell 1:144 kit (which is not altogether bad), does anyone know of a reasonably priced larger version of this type? What a cool vessel. (Photo from the web.)
