Silenoz Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nice work, I'm adding this one to the pipeline for building soon. I was a bit in doubt about using this PE-set or the set from Griffon, Finally settled on Griffon because they add the barrels, but it's also far more expensive...

Thin layer is necessary to avoid excessive heating:WIPUBoat-070 by Rodolfo Masti, su FlickrWIPUBoat-071 by Rodolfo Masti, su FlickrWIPUBoat-073 by Rodolfo Masti, su Flickr I've removed the prexiglass box, this is the result before wave and finishes ...U-Boot Type VII C/41 "Atlantic Version"; by Rodolfo Masti, su FlickrU-Boot Type VII C/41 "Atlantic Version"; by Rodolfo Masti, su FlickrU-Boot Type VII C/41 "Atlantic Version"; by Rodolfo Masti, su Flickr For further updates, stay tuned ...
