I would expect much more accuracy from a 2022 kit for 90 €. Moulds had shifted plane apparently, so some parts have one half displaced against the other, there's a lot of dividing planes to sand and so on. Expect a lot of sanding, scraping and filling! And in the end the model isn't going to correspond to any U-Boat VIIc version anyways because there're so much shapes and details wrong... You need RC Subs conversion set for 140 € (!!) to make it accurate. Or just ditch the accuracy and build it for fun (if it's possible to have fun with this kit). Definitely not for beginners.
