1/350 U Boat Type VIIC---Revell


Plumbum

Recommended Posts

This is on the way. I have a Trumpeter 1/350 USS Buckey destroyer escort in

an acrylic case and there's room for another ship, so I figured why not the Buckey's

adversary a German WWII Uboot. The Buckley rammed and then sank U-66 in

May 6, 1944, the plot was used for the movie "The Enemy Below", one of my all

time favorite war movies. The kit should be here by early next week.---John

Step 1 : With a new X Acto blade installed cut the foolish gawdawfull box on top

on 3 sides to form a proper top opening box. This is a MUST! At least for me it is.---John

I have the upper hull painted a medium gray. Now I can add the dive planes, rudder and prop shafts

then mask the medium gray and paint the lower hull and deck a dark gray.---John

Nice job John - watching with interest.  I have the "Atlantic" version in 1/144.  The VIIC is no longer available in that scale and I'm hoping that Revell will re-release it sooner or later.

 

I've been reading up on U-boats on this site which seems pretty authoritative..

The USS Buckley DE-51 Trumpeter 1/350 with it's adversary U-96 Revell 1/350. They will be going in an acrylic case together after U-96 is rigged.---John
