Das Boot, U-Boat type VIIC


Recommended Posts

Rejoining the Navy with this  Airfix U-Boat - my first ever submarine.

And the parts.

Don't remember the purchase details, but I always intended to set this model into a seascape . . .

 

. . . a photoprop - to be attacked by every Allied sub-hunter in my collection.

 

Kit length 166mm, width 14mm,   this is small!

So today's progress.   Hull assembled and painted.

Followed by a lot of measuring, marking, and cutting, 

resulting in a waterlined U-boat.

and since then, some touching up of the wounds to the paintwork.
