Just wanted to present my almost finished Type IIa "Einbaum".

It is from Special Navy and I bulit it oob.


I started with opening the holes and closed those who are not typically for the Type IIa.



Torpedotubes had been painted before placing them inside the hule.

Next step was the tower of the submarine...



The holes behind the photo etched parts had been opened.


Deck was fixed after removing some of the plastic to fit it in place


the "Einbaum" got his tooth and some other parts...

The gun has been added to the deck


and the ship was ready for paint


I have used the Tamyia Light grey Primer


After a day to let it dry I did a bit of pre-shading

Nice work, its nice to see another of these boats getting buildt.

Cheers/jan

The submarine was airbrushed with Revell Aqua Color, according to the Instructions of the Revell VIIc.


I also added the yellow stripe arround the tower


To let it look like U-3, one of the training submarines I wanted first to use a decal, but decided to paint the white stripe with the airbrush. Also I did some washing to let the boot look a bit older


This is how it looks at the moment



I know I am quite far away from being perfect, but this is my first submarine and my second model where I have used the airbrush and oil colors for washing. I am pretty happy with the result...

Now it needs only the cables and some crew members and than it is finished. Hope you like it so far

Thanks a lot. It was your boat who inspired me to use this type for my Diorama...

A wonderful presentation--I plan to make a Type IID from this kit soon.

Very nice indeed.

Hallo Alexander

The Typ II looks very good, as does the Bunker
Keep up the good work
Tschuss,

OK, my submarine is finished and I will continue now with building my sub pens. There is no crew on my submarine, because I have not decided yet where to place them. The boat is part of my diorama, thats why the propellers are "missing". They will be replaced in the scene that I want to build in the drydock.
So here are the pictures:










Hope you like the result!
