well been a busy lad this weekend heres some of my in progress works for the atlantic campaign
I've created a 2nd post purley due to the size of the images so the post dont get to big for those on dial-up connections,

bottom half of the hull is being done in very thin coats to allow the preshading to show through


still a long long way to go yet!

oi davy that preshading looks great dude...


is it the revell 1:72 scale kit?

did you drill out the holes in the hull and put in an extra interior?

is it going to be a stand alone model or in some kind of dio?

is it good to build? or is it an average revell kit

great job finish this beast and share with us

zero,
its the revell kit m8 and I'm to lazy to drill holes and fit an interior it will be stand alone WHENit gets finished may add a fig or 2 but thats it. No real problems with the kit hull needed some sanding it's not perfect sanding but it'll look good once under a layer of paint. I'd get one you'll enjoy it

Nice U-boat, the more that I see them the more I like them.
Maybe when I have some time that I buy me one.

Just one question is the underside of the hull not red?

Great work.

Ron,
no it's not red I seen a post on uboat.net about this seem to be one of the myths of ww2 they might have been prewar but not during anyway makes easier painting for me :-) :-)
