Yep it turned out really nice. I like it. I might just have to move to a bigger house so I can build one of these.

VIIC /41 Atlantic U-Boat PICS

Posted by smokinguns3 on Monday, October 16, 2006 9:31 PM

Here it is only about a week and half of work on this. Paints used where MM RLM enamels and for the weathering i used a thinned wash of rust and shot it with flat laquer. After that dryed i used strickly chalk dust for the weathering. Unfortunatly the flag that comes with it didnt have the you know what on it so i saved a pic from the net and used testors decal maker to resize it and printed it on normal paper cut and glued it with CA and dent it so it looked like it was being blown by the wind. So here the pics hope you like.
