hello Joe, thank you very much. I'm thinking about this. I would like to paint the upper hull and the conning tower with a mixing of white and light grey. I have any photographs about the u-552 u-boat and I see the upper hull and conning tower is similar to white colour. I prefer to paint with this colour and in this way, my u-boat selection will be the u-552. This is my reason. Yes this my selection (the u-552). But if I don´t find the devil decals for this u-boat , then I'm sure I will change the u-boat model
for anyone included in your decalas, because are wonderfull.

Ah, Joe I need your address. I suppose than your post mail address is correct, not? the reason, I have one surprise for you. It is possible , for christmas days (is possible). I'm trying to find a book for you. Whe I will find this book I will send you. it is a present for you. I'm trying to find a book on the pre-war and second war spanish u-boat forces. This book I remember have a lot of details about this u-boats. Remember some these u-boats were german u-boats also.


Thanks Joe , and happy day and....happy moddeling

Holla Miguel,

I have actually already prepared decals for U-552. I will send
you 2 versions, early war and late war. There is a difference
in the shape of the devil, both in the body and in the flame.
I will post them on the weekend; so you should receive by next week.
U-552 is a nice boat to model as the light gray upper hull and
tower seems to be much lighter the the usual light gray seen
on other boats. Will give very nice contrast to the color scheme.

Once again have a nice day,



Joe

Joe I see your PM now. Thank you very much. it is fantastic. I see this product in sevaral internet pages and..it is true is very expensive, but is a good (good not...great detail) detail for the u-boat. Thank you. Remember when I find the book, you need to see your post box, probably by christmas .
Thank you Joe. And I send you to confirm your post mail.
Happy day
PD: In these days I ask you any questions more.
Thanks you Joe.

Joe, How are you? It is probably I will have the book the next week. When I will receive I will send you weekly.
I hope your post mail, when I will receive it, I will confirm you .... Thanks.

Pd. when you can, I need your explanation about the torpedoes: it is probably I will include in my u-boat, also. I don´t know if is possible to make it with th styrene rods or with wood rods. I donñt know which is the best solution.
Thanks Joe, happy day and happy...modelling.

Hello fellow submariners,
Hope you are all fine.
Here are some photo updates on my Turm IV in 1:125 scale.

One photo shows some of the scratchbuilt parts and the other
a dry fit of these parts.

Any questions...will be glad to help.

Have a nice day and happy modelling!

Hi Joe

I am really amazed with the detail and quality of work put on that small conning tower!
I am really looking forward to see it growing
Sorry for the late reply on your work, but time has been very scarce

Congratulations

Skipper
