Title: Norbert bruggen 1/72 revell type 7 kit conversion
Post by: goingdown on September 20, 2016, 07:20:44 pm

I am contemplating purchasing the static diving conversion for the 1/72 revell type 7c.  It looks to be very reasonably priced and nicely designed.  Has anybody got experience of putting one together or seeing one run?  I am fairly confident I could put it together but would be interested to hear how it performs.

Thanks

Guy

One for our Andy (subculture) if he doesn't see this, I'll message him for you.

I've only seen pictures of the kit, but I have seen other kits by Norbert, and they're very well thought out. If I was going to do a Revell VII, this would be my choice of conversion kit.

Having said that, I think i would go for the basic kit and do my own ballast system, or just trim it to decks awash and run it dynamic.
