U-100 in Progress
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 14, 2005 8:07 PM
Hi Guys,

Here's a link to see my latest build, U-100. It's the Revell 1/125 kit with Nautilus resin CT w/ photoetch. Plus Steve Nuttal's scopes and barrels which look fantastic.
I did a little modification such as filling and reopening the forward most flood holes, 2 starboard, 3 port. I sanded away the exhaust cover and opened it up. Opened a couple of more flood holes under the exhaust opening and the 3 holes aft the saddle tanks. I also put in the semblances of a pressure hull with torpedo containers and exhausts.
The paints are WEM's Kriegsmarine colourcoats: Lower hull is Schiffsbodenfarbe III Grau, Upper hull is Hellgrau (Baltic), and the CT, although not WEM, is MM Light Ghost Gray.

U-100 makes for an interesting build because of the slightly darker CT and the scopes with light gray tops.

I plan on weathering and rigging it so I took pics before the gloss coat.

Enjoy!

Take Care,

Jess
