Interested in a 1:48 Scale Skipjack (De Boer) if possible, but otherwise just wanting to build a larger boat!

I just got one yesterday (DeBoer 1/48 skipjack) I wasn't planning on instantly selling it but I'm also not all that attached to it. I'm more of a WWII and older fan. Got anything to trade?

Okay, well I'm a little interested in your 1/72 type VII depending on what you have for it. Here is the good, bad and ugly on the skipjack. It looks to have been a working model at some point with a WTC. There is no WTC or any internal parts with it now. The original DeBoer rudders and stern planes are still with it (not installed). I guess the original stern planes are incorrect in that the whole plane pitches instead of just a small part of it as it should be, or maybe your supposed to cut that out yourself? Anyway, somebody makes the correct style parts for it and they are included with this boat (the white parts). They need a lot of clean up work but look very usable. There are some crude periscopes and masts included and some linkages and yokes in rough condition.3 PhotosComment

I'm interested.
Let me get some photos of the good, the bad, and the ugly on what I've got for the Type VIIc. This might take me a day or two, because I want to make sure I'm as complete as possible. I have a couple different boxes of stuff, spread around from a couple moves.Comment

What's not to love about those boats?

I really enjoyed building my Skipjack (one of my first) It dose not hold a candle to craftsmanship that went into the build you did on your boat!
I am still very proud of this build! I did a very basic, hardly scale build. The final finish and trim was very simple! (a newbie just learning) Even though the WTC I scratch built for this boat is a surface runner version (enough speed and more pool length I may have got a dynamic dive) Might be one of these days I will pull it off the wall and do it right!
