Hey AT,

They both came out pretty nice, I think my favorite is the early version. Something about that tri-color scheme that just looks good on subs.

Take care!

Yes, this prewar red lower hull looks pretty neat.
It was already discussed a lot of times about existence of such painted boats, still looks unquestionably good for static display model.

By the by, I made forms for both CT, so if anybody interested I can cast for you.

What did you use for the insulators on the wires? I've brought this up in another discussion as well. I need to make some for my Lil' VII C. I looked at glass beads, but couldn't find anything small enough.

Looks cool! Nice entries!

I think we're gonna have a very cool DDD gallery!

Steve,

I used super glue for styrene mixed with micro balloons.

forming small drops is a breeze. Just try to make it in 3-4 steps.
you easy can form insulators and wiring holders.

I thought those were the 72nd scale Revell kits at first, then I saw they were only the earlier 125th scalekits. These are quite well detailed. You did a great job on both

When did this build start? I must have missed it. Is it over or is there room for another person to join in???

Wie gehts?
Those are some awsome looking boats. Very inspirational work. What colors did you use on the camoflaged one?

This makes me wanna do a sub really bad. I love it. great job bro.

Sounds like a good plan, I'll try it out!

Thanks Boris!

Hi Plasticat,

the models aibrushed with Revell enamel paints.
for U201 I used Revell 31177 or simply 77 if it is in small metal cans. It is dust grey, matt.

For upper hull painted with 31374 or 74 - grey.

the camo strips is mixture of both above and few drops of deep blue, I do not remember number. I gues any will work.

I used 77 as base, added about 5% blue, mixed with some effort (very important for good results as I learned) and after that added some 74 to keep gamma the same but make it lighter.

I know, that accuracy of colors are something we all consider, and I MUST say this selection is not 100% historically, technically or technologically accurate, but I enjoy the boat myself.
I also will ably some weathering soon, so keep tracking.

Gruss fom Deutschalnd,

Boris

I'm betting that if skipper were around, he say a resounding yes! This has been a campaign of encouragement from day one, so I'd say go for it! I can't for one minute think there's any reason NOT to do a build for this!
