This is the fourth volume in a new series providing ship modellers with all they need to know about a famous class of warships and associated model kits. This volume is devoted to the largest class of submarines ever built, the Type VII, which formed the backbone of the German effort in the critical Battle of the Atlantic. A pre-war design, the Type VII was developed as the campaign progressed and was still in frontline service in 1945. All the major variants, as well as minor changes to equipment, are covered here. With its unparalleled level of visual information -paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs-it is simply the best reference for any model-maker setting out to build one of these famous boats.
