This review is from: Revell of Germany U-Boat Type IIB Plastic Model Kit (Toy)
I built this as “U-9” and was well pleased with the overall fit of hull and main parts. The line supplied was not used but would have been adequate; stretchable line is better. The instruction sheet could have been a little better especially regarding attaching the wiring to the front and rear of the sub. However, the illustrations of a built model helped address this problem and I believe the end result is accurate. Overall an enjoyable build.

To me, this kit seems like a bad design. I’m okay with the idea of needing to glue certain parts so that they stay together better. But in this kit, there are no posts & holes to keep the large hull pieces aligned during gluing. One must glue the pieces and then immediately tape them together to keep them aligned. Also, the gluing surfaces are not very big, so the long seams do not stay together at all. The seams gape open along most of their length. Maybe this is a standard kind of model and we just don’t have a high enough skill level, I don’t know. I’ve never had difficulty with model kits before. My son and I tried putting it together and found it extremely frustrating. We will return it immediately.
