Ahoy Shipmates!!!

MSW Crew member Kostas Katseas offers us a fantastic diorama of the DKM Scharnhorst saluting the U47 on her return from Scapa Flow.

Nice work!

I like the use of a light gray on the U47 - otherwise the boat and weathering would simply have vanished in the sea ..

Amazing realism in this scale.
Delightful as always to see another work of Mr Katseas.
The flyhawk Scharnhorst kit must be better than Lionroar's one then?

It's always a treat to see a diorama with a real story built in. The only way to top off this magnificent example would be to replicate it in 1:72! --Karl
