new guy here, dont know if this will reach anyone but i have been reading about this model [schnellboot]. i got one and it is huge,same packaging as many of you have seen, not anything that cant be overcome. been modeling [for fun] since 1957 with a couple of breaks in between. the broken hull parts over the torpedo exits is the most talkled about, i also had a pretty bent up photoetch fret but was able to fix the problem. i used light aircraft gray for the "schnellbootweiss" color, the hull bottom is flat dark red, and the other colors of gray are dark gull gray and medium dark gull gray. these are all spray can paints from testors. i made my own depth charges that look like WWII mk 7s, i know they are not to scale but they look good to me. all my models are weathered [just completed a "gato class sub and she looks real battle weary] this is my first shot at this forum and i dont know if i will ever be able to get back to as i am new to computing and i must tell you i stumble on everything.hope i get better thanks for listening phil/ontosusmc
