Default 1/72 U-Boat Type VIID

Just completed my Revell VIIC U-boat/CMK VIID conversion using WEM and Eduard photo-etch and some scratch building. Armed to the core with torpedos and SMA mines, modelled after U-216. Anyone interested in the actual building can check out some pictures I took along the way here-

I need to build a display case or two, I have a few more kits to build and boat #4 is already started. For now I am using compressed air to keep the dust off.
