Bitzer Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) I just completed the Revell 1/72 Type IX U-boat U-515 in the WIP section. I used Vallejo acrylics for the base and burnt umber and burnt sienna oils for the rust streaks and chipping. Wetted pastels were used for the waterline weathering and dry pastels were used for the overall streaking. The AA guns were from MpM. Enjoy.

mostrich Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 One of the best 72nd boats I've seen so far. Delicate weathering, especially on the lower hull. The AA guns look the part, good decision to replace the kit parts here. Congrats to this good looking big boat on your shelf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAYELL Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hi Bitzer I am not a maritime builder but I do know when a model has been finished to a superb standard. The weathering is brilliant, I particularly like the white 'scum line' on the sides of the vessel. also the rigging and just aboat everything else! Good job Cheers Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitzer Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks mates, I took some new pictures of her with a white backdrop so she's not so yellow looking. I'll replace them presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitzer Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Thanks again guys! Lucus, It's an easy kit to build. The only part heavy area is the tower. I just add difficulty by installimg the PE sets and spending weeks adding the "oil canning" effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
