I was looking for plans for the milk cow U-boat, I have found plans for the standard ship but have found little over the milk cow as a possible noncombat. I ordered the Revell 1/144 scale type 7 C/41 U boat Atlantic version for giggles and comparison.
I would like to see a Milch Cow. Just quick question, is that revell kit any good? I did static models before RC warship and still do them and I thought that kit would be cool. But from past experience (1/700) Revell kits suck. (their random scale Missouri sucks too, nothing is scale, 40mms are as big as a secondary, waterline is high, there is no detail, 20mms are horribly done and are tinier than scale. It sucked.) So is it good?
I would say decent as a plastic models go, I have built Cars, Planes, Ships, and Gundam model kits. I had just looked at saving media to the site and i think I figured it out... Good detail, all external details. by comparison I would say the I-400 is 2 to 3 times larger. I payed 22.30$ the shipping was free and was mailed from England http://www.hobbylinc.com/cgi-bin/s8.cgi?cat_s=SBB&str_s=1/144
From what I noticed the more accurate models are the larger scales, plastic has severe limitations when needing the same amount of detail at a smaller scale.
Very true. However I have seen state of the art masterpieces in 1/700 and some beautiful (mostly Tamiya) kits out there. Oh I also thought I would put my 1/144 Minicraft Mustang and B 26 I just finished here. It would be funny if someone made an RC flower class model. If it had a gun that would be hilarious (and hard) Edit: I can't spell
Tamiya, Bandai have some great models these days, too bad Revell north america went out of business. There are pieces that are molded as one complete section of a leg to this model, bend small part here, bend other backwards, attach their fold whole section in the middle to have a jointed leg, it is really amazing these days as apposed to 20+ years ago several pieces can be molded together as one on a plastic tree, example Real Grade Zaku II 1/144 model.
