HMS Venturer - 1/350 scale resin submarine


Recommended Posts

Another one just finished - the U-Class Group II submarine - HMS Venturer...

 

She was famous as the first submarine to sink another while both were submerged......

This is resin kit from Polar Bear Models.

The deck gun is from a MikroMir K Class model and the pennant number is from my spares cache.

This composite photo shows HMS Upholder - a Group I sub from E.V.A Models compared to the Polar Bear Model Group II sub...

 

Note the folded (top) and raised W/T masts......

The Polar Bear kit appears to be accurate - but the resin is very brittle and the kit has no decals or etched brass parts.

 

Still, it adds another Royal Navy submarine to the collection and is a very welcome release. :thumbsup:
