This review is from: Type VII U-Boats (Shipcraft, Vol. 4) (Paperback)
I waited months for this book and what a disapointment when it arrived today. The book is a total waste of money, just some black & white photos of U-Boats I have seen before. Large color photos of other builder's finished models, side profiles of boats I have seen else where, photos of parts and box art.No hints or information on building a Type VII U-Boat, "THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS BUILDING A U-BOAT!". Look on the net if your looking for hints to help build the perfect boat.

Anatomy of a U-Boat,
By Dana "Dana" (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Type VII U-Boats (Shipcraft, Vol. 4) (Paperback)
For the purposes of a modeler working on a highly detailed version of a Type VII U-Boat, this is the best available set of near-blueprint quality diagrams. It also contains a handful of photographs, although you'll probably want to supplement them with more from other sources. It could be even better (the author focuses too much on late-war versions and not on the boats as they existed in their heyday, which is likely to be of greater interest to most modelers). But especially because there' s a fair amount of misinformation about these boats in circulation, and some inaccurate kits and aftermarket superdetailing products on the market, this is an indispensible resource for anyone who is planning on investing a large amount of time in a U-Boat project.

Don't bother ordering new from Amazon, I waited almost 3 months before they finally admitted they could not get this book. Order it used from somebody else.
