Very nice model of a very nice submarine, great weathering not too much overdone emphasized by a great photography!
all in all a very handsome bit of modelmaking!

Nicely done Jim, well painted and photographed.

Nice job on the U-boat! I have a newfound appreciation for these boats, having just completed the old revell U-99 kit (VII B) as the U-84. You did a great job capturing the essence of these workhorses of the German Navy!

Thank you ....it was pretty much my fist time with a camera.....I must have drowned poor Mark with pictures.

Hi Jim

Sorry for replying only now - but yesterday had a long Lady Lex Feature to read!
Your U-boot looks very good, I like the subtle weathering, clean constructions and especially the natural look of the flag.
The presentation also is good, although I have some doubts on the red color of the torpedo warhead...
Congratulations

Rui

Thanks Rui, The torpedo came with the CMK kit and it was their recommendations that the warhead be red as per their colour diagram. I altered the tip to correspond to photographs I had from the book "U boats:raiders of the deep".The flag is actually from the kit.

Jim,

A very clean build which has been enhanced by the paint work and weathering, THANK YOU for sharing your model with us and sorry I took so long to add my penny`s worth.

A most excellent build and careful workmanship with nicely done additions, she looks ready to put to sea. Thanks for sharing this one with the crew.

I love, looks very realistic and the presentation is very elegant

congratulations

Yes a very nice looking U-Boat.. The weathering is excellent and the stand it's displayed on looks like it was made for it Thanks for sharing Bob

I missed this one first go around, glad I caught it! Great build, love the weathering and pictures. The build summary is also ver yuseful, thanks for sharing! Cheers

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Its really my first attempt at doing a writeup or talking pictures for that matter. I took about a year to build her,and yes,the stand was made for the model.

Very nice all around! She looks like a fine boat!
