Looks a nice kit Phil with a lot of detail in the standard kit, let alone with all of that extra etch and add-ons. Should keep you busy for a good while!

Looking good Phil. I've always wanted to build one of these. We used to get A5 sized WW2 comic books in South Africa called War Picture Library and I always loved it when a E boat entered the story.
