BIBER Midget Submarine (Special Hobby 1/72)


Recommended Posts

Looking something like a bad acid-trip with a grinning barracuda's mouth, I couldn't resist doing Special Hobby's 1/72 Biber midget submarine in this riotous crazy-quilt camouflage scheme. Pattern and colors are based on the kit instruction sheet, which says it served with K-Flottille 263 (3. Biber Flottille) based at Høllen in Norway in the Spring of 1945.

 

As far as I can recall, this was my first Special Hobby kit, and I was quite pleased. A limited parts count, but fit and engineering were good with nice surface detail. The small decal sheet was well-printed and in excellent register, with markings options for five different craft.

 

Enjoy!

Thanks, Rob.

It's a little rough for being hand-painted...but I knew there was no way I'd have the patience to mess with cutting masks that small! Maybe for the Italeri one that's twice the size.... :rolleyes:
