Product Description
The U-99 was one of the best known and most dreaded German U-Boats of World War2. Under the command of Lieutenant Otto Kretschmer she patroled the shipping lanes of the North Atlantic searching for enemy vessels. The U-Boat's Atlantic prowling came to an abrupt end on 17 March 1941 when she was spotted and sunk by the British destroyer "Walker". Almost the altogether 43 merchant vessels totalling 263,682 gross register tons.

This is an older make of model and hence is not as accurately cut as with modern laser cut plastic models. A lot of preparation of parts is necessary, trimming excess plastic and sanding and some parts are very fiddly and flimsy indeed to get into (and maintain) in position whilst the cement dries. Other than this the model is as accurate in detail as the scale allows. Bridge in particular is very sparse on detail. I would not purchase this kit again but would go for a more modern product. Other than this it was fun to build and the end result is a reasonably appealing model if you're not a purist who demands 100% accuracy.

This model lacks alot of detail. Compared to other U-Boat models I've built in the past, this one has only 6 steps to do where other models have about 30 steps to do. Everything about it is so easy, especially the conning tower. The conning tower for this model was finished in less than 5 minutes, where other model's conning tower take 10 minutes to complete. There are no rivets or welds on the hull and the conning tower was only the basic stuff, periscopes, hatch, and anti-aircraft gun. This model is not worth the money, and I suggest buying something else.
