Tail-Dragon Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Here's my interpretation of the U-123, a type IXb submarine that opened Operation 'Drumbeat' down the east coast of the U.S. and Gulf of Mexico in 1942, commanded by Kptlt. Reinhard Hardegen. It is the 1/150 Academy IXb that is manufactured as a motorized 'pool toy', and required quite a lot of modification, scratch building, a huge amount of Millput and brass wire!

ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Gidday Colin, that's a great 'conversion' - from pool toy to work of art. Very well done. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tail-Dragon Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 I'm starting a Revell Type VIIc now, and thought it was an interesting size comparison. (the Revell kit should go much faster, as it is quite a nice kit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tail-Dragon Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 I've been working on my Type VIIc (U-96) and have the initial painting done, I find the size comparison interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
