I am about to start my 2nd 72nd boat this year, in fact my second ever. I'll be building U-552 in its early fit.
And for extras, i have a couple of sets from eduard. A PE set and resin 88mm deck gun.
A White Ensign set includes some PE parts and a template to correct some of the flood drain holes. And from Schatton-Modellbau a radio antenn and metal barrel for the 2cm Flak.
G-Factor propellers and another Schatton set, metal periscopes.
And finally, a wooden deck from Nautilus Models which includes resin hatches.
I also have some waterline decals and a fabric flag from AMP.
Edit: below is a link to the AMP site where a number of U-Boat articles can be downloaded. I only used the first one, which compiles a number of the articles further down the page. The Wolf Pack II collection is a more recent addition and i have not yet looked at that, but i recently dowloade it for the Type IX info..

You’ve already built one, and now you’re building a second?!

This should be fun, and keep you busy for a few months, Martin.

A 72nd boat yes, the S-Boat.
Glad to have you guys on board.

You’re working your way up to a 72nd scale Kriegsmarine Flotilla, Herr Kommodor Bisch

I have been offered one of those but turned it down. I felt 1 S-Boat was enough. But who knows.

Well with two Type VIIs a Type IX, and the S-Boot, that should take up a good chunk of display space...
but what is one more...
