Nice work on the boat, it sure looks used, but still within the reasonable.
I cant see your last picture for some reason I only get a red X.

Thanks, Jan.
Exactly what I wanted to accomplish. I wanted the boat to look more weathered than usual. I figured that towards the very end of the war German resources were stretched very thin and I don't think that they put too much effort into maintenance of the school boats.
Also, by 'can't see last picture' do you mean the brass plate mockup?

Thats correct - allso a little nit-pick you might be able to use for your next build. Below the waterline rust tends to "bloom" instead of "run" - so unless the boats on land or in drydock the rust below the surface would not run.

Can you see it now?
Also, good point about the rusting. The boat is still missing last clearcoat so I might try to fix that a little bit.
I will try something different on my next build. Thanks.

I prefer the bottom one, much better balance without the Adler.
