Hello everybody,
a new project started .... the Schnellboot S-38 in scale 1:35 of Italeri... the new huge kit based on the older S-100 kit.
Some upgrade parts will come from Eduard (etched parts of the S-100), some etched parts of Royal Model for the Bofors, some sea mines of Schatton, gun barrels of Master Model and detailed parts of Shapeways.
But first lot of putty is necessary to cover the areas where the bolts were used for mounting the two halfes of the hull...
Cheers
Micha

Good start, look forward to seeing more. I saw photos of this boat built up and displayed by Italeri, taken at the Nuremburg show. Looks like the error made in the diameter of the forward gun tub in the S-100 kit was not corrected. It is still too small.
Gunner would not fit behind the gun. Al

Hello everybody,
several rounds of sanding, putty, sanding, primering, putty,..... later - it is done. The surface is smooth and ready to continue.
Next step will be the torpedotuebes and the new rivets at the bow where I lost them during the sanding process... then I will take care of the display.
regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
That is boring stuff, to be sure, but taking care of these tasks now assures that things will look their best later! Solid work so far, I look forward to watching your progress.

Hello everybody,
the hull is done, sanded and smooth now. The riverts at the bow were added and secured with a layer clear coat.
The ship will get a white wooden base with two feed made of aluminium pipe, cut already, now sanding it in the shape of the hull next.
regards,
Michael

Hello Michael, nice progress. Can you provide more details how you added thoses rivest to the front. I still have somewhere ARCHER rivets, but actualy I am a HULK in applying them. You leave them on the foil? and glue it to the hull? Please enlight me

Hi Christian,
these are decals.... normal decals.... cut the length of the decal you need, put the decal in the water .... apply it where you need it ... done
I have fixed it with a layer clear coat after that to secure it during the further works as I will paint the hull later. If you paint it directly afterwards then no clea coat will be necessary I think
Cheers

Excellent work....those extra details will really pay off in the end!
Just curious, what is that circular disc behind the 2cm gun position as
seen in the posted photo of the finished model?

Thanks Al,
Ok, so I have seen many pictures with the cover attached since I posted that question
but then, were did they put the 2cm and its mount...was it stored below deck?
I figure kind of heavy for a couple of crew members to move.

I believe the gun mount could unlocked, and swung down into the tub. They probably would remove the barrel.

very nice progress Michael, with a lot of details, thank you for buying my products from Shapeways. IMHO especially the Torpedotargeting computer and the Torpeodtube ends benefit from more details.
But Michael what is the metal plate in the middle of the Targeting computer?

Hello everybody,
Vallejo's black primer as base coat, the further colors airbrushed only in thin, not covering layers to keep the black base as shadow color.
Paints used next:
Schnellbootweiß (S-Boat white): Insignia White + Light Grey
Under water: Red/Brown
Main Deck: Dark grey
Stripes: White & Red
All these paints are of Mission Models.
Some first damages on the red stripes added already, some further scratches and damages on the other areas follow, but first some further details brush painted all around the ship.... then oil color washs ...
Cheers
Micha

Hello everybody,
I made the wooden optics with different oil colors and a stiff brush, on a base paint in beige colors.
Metal colors Iron and Brass were used for the details ...
All this area remains good visible through the open doors left and right and the huge windows...

Hello everybody.
The sea mines of Schatton Modell are finished. These resin mines are wonderful updates for the S-Boat.
The rails for the mines are made of evergreen plastic profiles, still unpainted.
Also the dinghy is a resin model with photo etched details on it.
regards,
Michael
