OK, the U-boat hull is primed and ready. I was pleased that cutting out the ballast vents and limber holes, then rebacking them provided additional depth and looks a lot better.

I think I can...I think I can ...I think I can.......

Lord don't let me screw up the rest of it







Over and out.

Looks Great Steve! Your cranking them out now. The kids will really get in to the subs. I hope you have a reading list all worked out for them.

Thanks Scott and Garry!

Scott, not only do I have a reading list picked out, but I bought four more books on subs to donate to the library so they'll have a few more. I even picked out a couple of books on WWII subs for the adults.




Yo ho ho and a glass of iced tea.

See Skip, me and Garry are behaving.

Hi Steve!!

Of course you're behaving properly - you're in the Navy Side of Armorama :-) :-)

Your sub is looking great!!

Hey Skip,

no it's the old Revell kit. It's not a bad little kit either!
