Revell 1/72 Type VIIC/41 U-boat `U995`


Recommended Posts

Hi,

this is my last project, it took me about a year to complete this model.

Almost every aftermarket upgrade kits which are available for this kit were used:

-Nautilus wooden deck

-Eduard VII/C PE kit

-White Ensign models type VII flood, drain and vent holes PE kit

-Griffon FLAK-guns high detail kit

-Modelbrass type VII PE kit

-Archer transfers type VII rivet decal set

I opened al the floodholes, added ribs inside the hull above the saddletanks, remade the railings from 0.5mm brass wire, scratchbuild the whole exhaust system wich lies beneath the deck, `oil canned` the hull, replaced about 800 rivets wich were sanded away, corrected the `bull nose` and corrected all the faults in this kit (wich are many....)

Thank you guys for the kind comments :thumbsup2:

The wooden deck is sold bij Nautilus: http://www.nautilusmodels.com and the brass torpedo details are sold by White Ensign Models.

The whole building proces (warning; lots of pics..) can be seen on this Dutch forum: http://www.modelbrou...6839&hilit=u995
