BerndM Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi, here is my first Topic in Britmodellers "Naval department" Its a Type VIID Submarine from Revell in 1/144 scale, started many years back and stalled for some reason. It went back on my bench some weeks ago. Its more or less out of the box, i added some details on the main gun with stretched sprues and copper wires, the barrel is painted dark gray on the topside and light gray on the upper side. There is a compare picture with a 8,8cm gun right out of the box. The barrel of the 20mm gun was replaced with a steel needle. The antennas were made from stretched sprues and Ez line The isolators on the antennas were drops of wood glue. Weathering was done with a black wash from acrylic color and a lot of drybrushing and some slight barely visible rust shades on the underwater part of the hull. I hope you like it and i wish all Britmodellers and their families a happy new year. Cheers Bernd 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Bernd. I didn't know you'd gone over to the dark side of maritime models! To my shame I don't visit this section of BM as much as I should. Excellent submarine you've made there. Very nice detailing and weathering. Always useful to get a sense of scale with the matches too. Well done. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Good morning Stix and thank you, the dark side has a lot of interesting "stuff" to offer. Submarines in 1/144 are a perfect match for modellers with not much space (and budget) Will do in 2015 a mix of AFVs,Naval and aircraft as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks Julian, my first finished naval kit in years, did you see the 1/700 Tirpitz in the background on one of the "bench pics" ? This can be Nr. 2. All these details in 1/700 hefty stuff, but save a lot of space :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
