Hello,

Here are a few shots taken of my recently completed 1/400 scale Type VIIB, built with a few additions, namely the deck gun break water and railings being added to the tower and deck gun platform, hope you like it.

Great sub Pete, Im my opinion, a perfect amount of weathering. Can you gives us some closer shots of the gun deck and the tower?

AhoyPete,
Super job on such a small sub! I love the subtle weathering.

And how is the Type XXIII coming along?

Keep up the great work after all, that is what makes MSW such a great
site!

Have a nice day and happy modelling!

Really great job on such a tiny kit. I've built 6 of them so far and added some details, but yours far surpass my efforts
