uncarina Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Here is my build of U-2335, the German submarine that sank the last Allied ship, in a huge 1/35 scale. I had to modify the foredeck, add several rows of vent holes, and scratchbuild the snorkel. Cheers, Tom 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestar12chris Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Very nice build Tom, subtle weathering a very well done model. my only critique would be that the U-boat depicted had only 1 patrol after a collision with another u-boat (which sank) and following repairs would have been in near pristine condition, photos ive seen seem to bear this out as they depict her before operation deadlight with water staining but little or no signs of rust. http://www.brendtandbrendt.com/ship.php?row=171&back=listofships.php All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPG Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Like it. Especially the panel lines and weld detail. Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this photo as my reference. Were the numbers add by the British after the surrender? Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Hi Tom, it definitely looks that way (broad paint brush) ease of cataloguing u-boats to be sunk after surrender, as their not the usual numbering style which would have been U-2336 for example.

uncarina Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thank you! I was lucky to find some flexible mesh in the right scale, and had some references that made it doable. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
