My first naval model. 1:350 Type XXI U-Boat


Recommended Posts

Decided, after making entirely aircraft models, to give a ship a go. Was tempted to go with one of the famous WW2 Battleships (either Hood, Bismarck or HMS Rodney) but, since I'm a relatively new to modelling, figured a Sub would be a bit easier.

The kit was the 1:350 AFV Club model. A good kit but with dreadful decals. I broke two (one I managed to repair, the other was a lost cause). Very fragile and easy to damage. Other than that, I enjoyed it, a nice little kit and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

If anyone has any types of things that could be added/repainted to improve it. Feel free to let me know!

Well...... bugger. A google check shows you're right. I've messed up :P How did that happen? :banghead::banghead: :banghead: :banghead::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

Should be a simple fix, I hope. :)

Thanks for spotting it! I'll see if I can repair it and... lesson learnt, read the instructions better :)
