Hello!

That camo really looks good! Did that baby really launch those torpedoes?

Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

That’s a mad little machine!

I have the 1/35 Italeri kit, and you might have pushed me to do the wacky paint job.

BIBER Midget Submarine (Special Hobby 1/72)
Posted by gregbale on Thursday, October 10, 2019 5:20 PM

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!

Greg
