Miguel Palao, (mpalao) took almost a year to convert the old 1:125 Revell U-99 into Eric Top's U-552 "Red Devil". A marvellous model. Here is the result of that effort.



Enjoy

Geez...
I don't have much more to say than truly an amazing piece of craftsmanship, mate...I can look at these pics for hours! My goodness, the weathering is perfect! Thanks!

Shoot, I'll use this as a reference on how to weather a U-boat when I redo my U 571.

Thank you Skipper for this MOD feature. Thanks to everybody. Without your help it would have been impossible to build this model to me. Thanks. And remember, if anyone have some questions about this scratch-building model, please ask me.
Thanks and Happy day from Spain

Thanks Mark, it's true, sorry for my mistake. My PC is working very bad lately. Ok, the u-boat is sailing in calm water.
Thanks again

Hey, no problem what-so-ever, mate!
These computers sometimes are more troublesome than what they are truly worth, I do agree, but alas, we can't live without them in our society now...I'm glad that all is sorted now though!
Cheers,
~Gunny
