A truely beautifull build, Its nice to see another type II, they are very attractive and your model shines!

Congratulation on the first place - I havn´t seen the other contestants, but this looks like a worthy winner.

Cheers(or Kippis) /Jan

Hei Pasi

Congratulations on your U-4!
Good presentation, good build, subtle weathering and good corrections makes it a winner (as you so well know).

I have found interesting for a Finn to have resisted the temptation of making the Vesikko
I bet that you have been at Suomenlinna at enjoyed it (I have and I live a "little bit" far away from it)
Could this be a next project?

Once again, Congratulations

That's a gorgeous build! I'm delighted to see another rendition of the Special Hobby kit. The pre-Nazi ensign is a nice touch as well.

Yes,it was temptating. But there have been rumours that Special Navy is making model of Vesikko as well, so i am waiting for it. There is also new book published recently in Finland about Vesikko, so there is plenty of reference nearby !
Type II is one of my favourite ship types, it really was a nice model to build.

Hei Pasi

It was a good internationalization, then!

Can you give me more info on the reference book of the Vesikko, please (ISBN, publisher, this kind of info)
Thank you in advance,
Rui

Hello Rui,

ISBN is 9789525334074 and this is link to the publishers website :

You can order it there. Payment goes with PayPal. Book is written in Finnish, but it contains an english language summary and extended photo captions.
