Trumpeter 1/48 DKM U-Boat Type VIIC U-552 Full Build and Diorama

Iain, I am curious what printer you used to make the light guards. It does a good job with fine details.
 
Great work!! Can you please give me the shops that I can find material for in side decoration ( diorama) as yours for example. Scale 1:350 Thank you very much.
 
I love your work on this build!
I have a related question. I see the cost of this kit to range between 500-600 USD.
The Trumpeter site lists the same kit going for $89 reduced from only $210
Is this site fake??? I can't imagine it being so inexpensive.

I'd be super careful with this one. Reeks of SCAM

Any tips on cutting out the clear styrene? I have fine blade hobby saws and the Tamiya drill

*Update* - Actually found some cutting wheels and min circular saws. I did some practice runs on thick, clear styrene similar to the clear hull and didn't have any issues with the Dremel. Just stay inside the lines about 3mm and should be ok.
