One issue with the Kit is the number of inaccuracies. . For a kit of this scale, it is somewhat glaring. Since starting on the model four years ago, a staggering number of upgrades in RESIN, PE and 3D accessories has come on to the market. The problem for me is that these cost more than the kit and are often outside my skill level. This boat is a complex and testing build out of the box and by the time you add paints, tools and lighting it is quite costly. The primary concern from UBOAT Modelers is that U-552 is not correctly represented. Some issues are minor, as in rivet counting, some in basic hull appearance and modifications specific to U-552. For me, it suits better if the model is a representation of a typical type VIIc as these boats varied greatly in colour and modifications. Taking that view, i think this kit builds into an impressive representation of this type. For those with the skill and budget, the kit can be turned into a museum piece.
