Very nice work! and a beautiful scratchbuild as well!

Cheers/Jan

I really enjoyed the history here: there are people who still don't believe any subs penetrated the harbor. The model is well done, the bow wave creates drama and tension.

Wow! Great scratchbuild!!

As usual, a great story from Karl! And a beautiful and clean scratch built too.
You know that making smoke is one of my interests in ship modeling , so I know how difficult it is to achieve realistic results. Lack of appropriate materials and previous work makes this special effect a real challenge in terms of innovation and creativity.
I must say that I find your smoke in this and your previous work very convincing and can't wait to see more of your work!
Happy modeling,

Augusto

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. This is all the more appreciated since this project was hurried somewhat--the keel wasn't laid until mid-October!

However, working with a destroyer in 1:144 was fun and I have other such projects in mind for next year.

great work and story! thanks for sharing....

Awesome work Karl. I would love to recreate it in 1/700.

Hey Kenny!

Good luck with the midget sub part--I came up with the dio's name after getting the two vessels together and seeing the enormous size differential. Even in 1:144, the midget was barely six inches across and I had to carve the periscope!

perfect smoke, perfect water, excellent!
