This is what I really like, somebody taking the time and effort to research an item and do as good a job as they can to recreate it. This is modeling. Great job.

Thanks a lot, my friends! I really appreciate your feedback! I will be back to the shiprights in a few months building the Bismarck.

Here is a link to my album if you guys want to see some reference pictures of U-2511 and other XXI boats.
