Hi Jan

Congratulations! Your Typ XXIII is very good and it's interesting to see another Typ XXIII other than the Special Navy one - and also different approaches on the engineering on both models!

Really love all the detail and work you have put on the conning tower - it makes it very impressive, although you have to look with care to see that you have put a lot of work there! (which is good - all the work is very well "blended" - the model is very well balanced!).

Thank you for your time and skills!
Keep up building that 1/72 scale submarine collection

You are much to kind Mates, Thanks!.

I“m currently waiting for some updates for my II A, and while they are being molested by the mailsystem, I“ll take a short break from subs - not to get burned out.

My Gato is nearing completion though - but its a dog taking decent photos of something that big...

Cheers/Jan

A minimal grey monster painted with outstanding attention, and very nicely presented too, all my congratulations!

Thanks Jean-Bernard!

Here is the final chapter in this build - especially for Rui, allways obay the Skipper!



The fellow in the relaxed pose with his hands in his pockets is from CMK and a bit smaller than the other two, who is from Warrior - got them trough Mickster, recommendable service and very speedy delivery!

Ahhh!
Hi Jan,

It should be especially for you! It's your model!
But I have to say it looks good
